Webinar: Explaining the Decarbonising Infrastructure Delivery Policy

Please note: The webinar link will be sent to all attendees the day prior to the event

During this webinar, Infrastructure NSW will present an overview of the Decarbonising Infrastructure Delivery Policy and measurement guidance and provide an update on the implementation program, including the resources that will be available to support industry and government agencies.

The NSW Government launched the Decarbonising Infrastructure Delivery Policy and supporting measurement guidance in April 2024, which will become operational in April 2025. The policy embeds consideration of embodied emissions into NSW Government infrastructure decision making processes. Since the launch, the measurement guidance has been adapted for national use, in close collaboration with the Commonwealth Government and other jurisdictions. This national measurement guidance received approval from Infrastructure and Transport Ministers in June 2024, marking a key step towards national harmonisation.

A key aspect of the policy is measurement of embodied emissions to enable their consideration at key decision points. Infrastructure NSW is working closely with Transport for NSW and NABERS to develop an emissions factor library to continue to improve consistency of carbon measurement across both linear and vertical infrastructure. 

Join us for a synopsis of the key points of this policy as provided by two of the Directors at Infrastructure NSW.
