The scheme is more profitable in areas where land is cheaper and market rents are lower.

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:

The State Plan should include a new target that clearly states the number of zoned and serviced lots ready for development and a timeframe in which these lots will be produced. Its also important that the NSW Government measure its performance based on actual outcomes on the ground.The new State Plan must include real and measurable targets for timely assessments of rezonings and the finalisation of standard instrument compliant local environmental plans. The State must also take the lead and actually articulate the level of population growth around centres and corridors and specify a timeframe.
