Nearly a quarter of the New South Wales government's infrastructure promises will not be met by this financial year's deadline, leaving eight billion unspent in the budget.
Rising construction costs and supply chain bottlenecks have led to the state government deferring various major building projects to avoid cost blowouts.
The NSW government had committed $30 billion to infrastructure projects but marked eight billion as “slippage” on a footnote in the budget's papers, according to a report from The Sydney Morning Herald.
