3. Independence and confidentiality

Gateway should provide independent and experienced advice within a confidential environment, sharing outcomes between investors and agencies where beneficial.

Gateway reviews are to be delivered by a panel of reviewers who are sufficiently independent to ensure objective review from concept through delivery and benefit realisation

A Gateway review panel must be assembled so that it possesses sufficient skills, capability and experience to enable it to provide relevant assessment and advice

An agency cannot perform the roles of both the Delivery Agency and GCA for the same project. When this occurs, the Policy Owner will allocate the responsibility to the appropriate GCA. The relevant GCA for capital projects that are delivered by Infrastructure NSW on behalf of another agency will be NSW Treasury. Similarly, NSW Treasury will be the GCA for ICT projects that are delivered by the ICT & Digital Government division of the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation.
