Annual NSW Major Projects Conference
MONDAY NOVEMBER 20, 2017
Being Australia’s most populated state, Sydney is home to over 5 million people, 5 million registered motor vehicles and no homes in the city’s inner suburbs with median prices under $500,000. However, it’s not just Sydney metro that’s under pressure. The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates that regional NSW’s population grew to 24.2 million in June 2016, seeing a 18 per cent increase since 2006.
That’s why, coined with the term ‘building NSW’s future’, the 9th Annual NSW Major Projects Conference 2017 instantly bodes well with attendees; a conference with a proactive focus regarding the issues created by rapid population growth.
The 9th Annual NSW Major Projects Conference 2017 is a two-day event, held on the 14-15 November, at the newly refurbished International Convention Centre – Sydney.
The event features industry-expert speakers presenting on significant infrastructure projects and plans in the state. Attracting over 250 attendees annually, the conference is the largest of its kind in NSW.
With the $73 billion NSW infrastructure funding from the NSW Government, the Conference’s agenda features a range of projects covering sectors such as public transport, roads, hospitals, schools and airports.
The NSW Major Projects Conference will encompass detailed discussion of all kinds of industry projects, including those funded by the private sector.
Just some of those on the current agenda are:
