Translating Policy into Practice: The Infrastructure NSW Digitalisation and Data Policy in Action

How is digital policy transforming the way we plan, design, and deliver infrastructure across NSW?

Translating Policy into Practice brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to unpack the Infrastructure NSW Digitalisation and Data (IDD) Policy and discuss its practical implications for the future of infrastructure delivery.

Hosted by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and buildingSMART Australasia in collaboration with Infrastructure NSW, this event will examine how the IDD Policy establishes the foundation for a connected, data-driven infrastructure ecosystem.

Through keynote presentations, a fireside discussion, and a high-profile panel featuring digital champions across sectors, participants will gain insight into how policy will be turned into measurable outcomes and what it means for agencies, delivery partners, and the broader supply chain.

Key themes include:

• Translating strategic intent into actionable delivery practices

• Aligning digital, data, and asset management across government and industry

• Strengthening collaboration, interoperability, and capability uplift

• Real-world case insights on policy implementation and leadership
