9.  Conclusion

Since the SHT, PPPs have been able to evolve to changing influences. Given the Global Financial Crisis, it appears PPPs will have to adapt to a changing financial landscape. Although PPPs have received a great deal of scrutiny in recent years, they have been able to adapt to the requirements of users and tax payers. Government has introduced a number of safeguards to reassure the public that PPPs will only be entered into when they are in the public interest, and provide the people of NSW with value for money.
