Strategic Transactions: leads the execution of transactions, financial due diligence, governance strategy and complex commercial and contract negotiations with the public and private sector on behalf of the State.

Policy: develops and administers a range of policy initiatives, in collaboration with other parts of Treasury and the NSW Government, including the PPP Guidelines and other policy imperatives. MPD also contributes towards the development of policy in the infrastructure and construction sector and promotes consistency in government procurements.
