2025 Dams Safety NSW Strategic Objectives (PDF 326 KB)
Dams Safety NSW's Strategic Objectives document took effect on 1 July 2025, and are underpinned by an annual business plan. These objectives set a clear direction for the next stage of our agency’s development and reflects both the challenges and opportunities ahead.
The Strategic Objectives were developed to address several key priorities:
- Clarify our long-term direction and how we will deliver public value over the next five to ten years.
- Strengthen transparency and accountability following commencement of the dams safety levy.
- Reflect evolving risks and priorities, including the growing awareness of climate variability, legacy infrastructure challenges, and the community’s expectations of safe dams.
- Recognise our growth and maturity since our establishment on 1 November 2019.
- Build organisational capability to ensure we are fit for the next phase of our maturity.
Together, these priorities position Dams Safety NSW to continue delivering on our purpose with clarity, accountability and confidence in the years ahead.
