Principles
The SDA Reuse Policy principles set out expectations for all NSW Government agencies who utilise or deliver SDAs. They are intended to drive a behaviour of reuse, and ensure SDAs are efficient and effective, guiding decision-making at all levels.
Reuse whenever possible
Your proposed investments must plan for and make use of any opportunities to reuse digital assets within your agency and across government.
Design and build for reuse
If your proposed investment cannot reuse an existing digital asset, you must ensure that any asset you build or procure considers reuse by other agencies and the broader needs of government.
Run for reuse
Your reusable assets must be managed and operated in a way that enables their continued reuse. SDAs must meet the evolving needs of customers across government, whilst continuously improving and innovating.
These principles are based on the Australian Government's Digital and ICT Reuse Policy and have been updated to meet the needs of NSW Government1.
