The Department of Planning has released a discussion paper named, Sydney Towards 2036 as a first step in its review of Sydney’s Metropolitan Strategy The paper highlights key challenges including jobs growth in Western Sydney, making Sydney climate change-ready, placing new homes close to services and infrastructure and revitalising our centres. Community and stakeholder consultation, which closes on April 30, is now underway and running, hand in hand, with the exhibition of the $50 billion Metropolitan Transport Plan until April 30 – linking land-use and transport planning. Following feedback on both documents, a single Metropolitan Plan will be created and released in the second half of 2010.
