The NSW Government manages a multi-billion dollar infrastructure asset portfolio, with over $100 billion additional infrastructure investment identified in the 2020-21 Budget over the next four years. Over the life of a built asset, a wide variety of data is collected and managed as part of infrastructure planning, development, delivery and operation. This data is generated by both government and the private sector and is stored in many places across a wide range of different formats, such as graphical plans, models, schedules, specifications, manuals, spreadsheets and databases.
The collection, curation and sharing of data can be a complex process including governance, data migration and integration, metadata management and analysis of big data. It is important that this data is valued, better organised, shared and used to generate insights and savings.
