NSW Government announces major spending on infrastructure

The NSW government will push ahead with its mammoth infrastructure pipeline despite record deficit, promising to spend more than $107 billion over the next four years to spur economic growth.

An extra $7 billion was allocated to state infrastructure in November's budget, with the government allocating billions to Sydney Metro West and allocating cash for pre-construction works on the Western Harbour Tunnel.

In delivering a $16 billion deficit, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the unprecedented infrastructure pipeline would form a key pillar in rebuilding the economy, with the slated sale of its remaining stake in WestConnex expected to help fund the work.

"This state-building pipeline will drive our recovery and strengthen our state, so we can stand tall today and lift future generations even higher," Mr Perrottet said.
