Overview

Our waterways support many commercial and recreational boating activities that deliver economic and social benefits for NSW.

The NSW Maritime Infrastructure Plan will improve how the NSW Government plans, funds and delivers maritime infrastructure to ensure safe access and use of NSW waterways, and deliver benefits to recreational boaters, commercial fishers and the tourism industry.

The plan adopts a new approach to delivering maritime infrastructure through greater coordination, collaboration and reducing red tape.

It provides councils and the private sector with greater certainty in how the government will prioritise investment in maritime infrastructure, enabling them to invest in their own infrastructure with confidence.

What have we achieved?
