The not-in-my-backyard [NIMBY] group claims the absence of new transport infrastructure justifies their opposition to new homes. Major improvements to Sydneys transport network would smooth the way for Sydneys growth, but Sydney will need to cope with extra housing with or without new transport infrastructure. Theres no doubt that the congestion cancer is squeezing the life out of our city. However, this is nothing compared to a Sydney with no new homes. That would be a social and economic disaster of epic proportions.File Size:

It will be more difficult for Sydney to the accommodate new housing made necessary by anticipated population growth and demographic change without new and expanded transport infrastructure. The more that is invested in new, well-planned transport infrastructure, the easier it will be for Sydney to respond to the growth challenge it faces. Furthermore increased co-ordinated investment will also inspire business confidence and encourage private sector investment in transport-orientated urban development projects.File Size:

In our view, the new agency will only be a success if there is a genuine integration of decision-making, including a one-stop-shop on transport infrastructure planning. A key measure of success should be a simpler process for getting transport agency sign-off for new urban development.File Size:
