NSW Investment Delivery Authority accepting first EOIs

The NSW Government has announced the opening of expressions of interest (EOIs) for the first round of projects to be considered by the recently announced Investment Delivery Authority (IDA), calling for developments related to data centres and technology, renewable energy and energy security, along with hotels critical to visitor economy growth.

The IDA aims to support major investment projects in NSW by cutting red tape and coordinating actions across government.

The NSW Government published the EOI criteria earlier this month so businesses and investors could familiarise themselves with the IDA’s objectives and eligibility. It’s now time for the private sector to submit its projects.

The EOI round will be open for four weeks, closing on Monday, 27 October. The government says the timing of future EOI rounds will be communicated in due course.

Projects that are endorsed by the IDA will receive specialist government support for their major investments in NSW, including from a dedicated planning assessments team within the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, and from a multi-agency Investment Taskforce based in the Premier’s Department.

Businesses and investors can submit their EOIs at Investment Delivery Authority.
