About State Property Authority
The State Property Authority was established as a statutory authority in September 2006 under the State Property Authority Act 2006. Its role is to improve operational efficiencies in the use of government properties, to better support the service delivery functions of government agencies.
The Authority’s objectives as are to:
-
Improve operational efficiencies in the use of properties, by government agencies
-
Manage properties of government agencies in ways that support the delivery of government services by agencies
-
Advise government on property matters
-
Operate at least as efficiently as any comparable business
The Authority adopts a strategic approach to maintaining, acquiring, disposing and developing government property, with a specific focus on generic assets such as land, office buildings, warehouses, depots and car parks. It works with NSW Government agencies to manage property more effectively and efficiently, allowing agencies to focus on delivery of their core services.
Through its three operational divisions, the Authority collaborates closely with individual agencies, providing specialist industry knowledge and expertise supported by an in-depth knowledge and experience of the unique requirements of managing government property.
A snapshot of how the Authority works to improve operational efficiencies in the use of government property to support better service delivery is provided in the Authority’s corporate brochure Enabling Better Services.
