This is achieved through the Infrastructure Investor Assurance Framework (IIAF), which provides Government, as the investor, with confidence that the State’s infrastructure program is being effectively developed, monitored and delivered. 

The Investor Assurance function of Infrastructure NSW oversees the whole of government infrastructure program to ensure that NSW Government agencies are developing and delivering fit for purpose, timely and cost-effective solutions that meet the needs of the NSW community.
