Region. WSROC pleased but has reservations

The Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC) has welcomed the release of the Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 but noted much more work needed be done. WSROC president, Cr Alison McLaren, said the review had identified many of the issues of critical importance to Western Sydney, but lacked detail in how they would be successfully implemented. “In addition, we are concerned that, although Western Sydney is expected to absorb over 60 per cent of the projected population growth, it is only going to be supplied with 50 per cent of the new jobs,” she said.
