Region. Metropolitan Plan 2036 released

The Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 has been released, which will shape the city for future growth. Activities its supports include locating 50 per cent of jobs in Western Sydney; strengthening the role of Parramatta as Sydney’s second CBD as part of a network of 34 strategic centres; Sydney's south-west, north-west and central-west will absorb the bulk of the population growth; and Penrith, Liverpool and especially Parramatta must grow to become new employment centres so that more people can live closer to their place of work.
