Region. Document a sound step

Future transport projects needed to underpin Sydney’s growth patterns are the cornerstone of the NSW Government’s draft transport masterplan. The Property Council of Australia’s NSW executive director, Glenn Byres, said the document’s release was a sound step in aligning land use and transport planning. “The plan recognises the crucial role of Sydney’s CBD as a global city and promotes solutions that can foster its status as our economic jewel in the crown. But it also reaches across the broader metropolitan city and offers linkages between economic hubs, centres and emerging new communities,” he said.
