While the private sector delivers much of that growth, Government must have the ability to intervene from time to time, particularly where the private sector may be unwilling or unable to become involved. Landcom provides this intervention – by implementing key elements of the Government’s urban management strategy. In other words, we make things happen. Landcom Annual Report 2007 1 What is Landcom? Landcom is the NSW Government’s property developer – but we are not a developer in the conventional sense. Our goal is to demonstrate excellence in economic, social and environmental sustainability through our projects. Landcom developments also fulfil important Government objectives for Sydney’s growth. To do this, we partner with the private sector to leverage our influence on a metropolitan scale. Our value to Government What we do We usually deliver our projects We always start with people in We currently operate within the through partnering arrangements mind. This means that we create Greater Sydney Metropolitan Area, with the development industry. places that provide the best and in nearby regional areas such as This enables us to leverage a possible foundation to build the Hunter and Illawarra. modest level of Government communities – for those people investment into a much larger level who will live and work there and While most of our projects are of private sector investment.

We want to make bike riding a convenient and enjoyable option that benefits everyone - by improving access to towns and centres, reducing congestion and increasing capacity on the public transport system. We are investing $33 million into cycling in 2013-14 across NSW. This will build new routes, fix missing links in the network and better integrate bike riding with other modes of transport. Sydney’s Cycling Future outlines how we will improve the bicycle network and make sure that the needs of bike riders are built into the planning of new transport and infrastructure projects.
