Calvin Cheng 3103753 Public Transport and Land Use Planning in North West and South West Sydney Page iii Abstract North West and South West Sydney are two growth areas where land use planning has evolved around the private car as the dominant form of transport. This is evident by the multi-car households, abundance of car parking at shopping centres, business park developments, and new and existing road upgrade projects. The Government has recently announced major planning initiatives and projects in both sectors to accommodate Sydney’s growing population and to provide housing and job opportunities away from inner Sydney. Public transport is a crucial variable in the planning process. This thesis analyses the planning processes for the projected

  • NSW Budget- $108 Million Bus Boost
    Andrew Constance Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Gladys Berejiklian Treasurer Minister for Industrial Relations MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday, 14 June 2016 NSW BUDGET: $108 MILLION BUS BOOST Double decker buses will serve some of Sydney’s busiest routes, and around 3,800 extra weekly services will be added as part of a $108 million investment in new buses in the 2016- 17 NSW Budget, Minister for Transport and Infrastructure Andrew Constance and Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian announced today. The 80 seat double deckers can carry 65 per cent more capacity than normal size buses, and will be used on key corridors including the busy Rouse Hill-City service (route 607X), between Blacktown and Macquarie Park (route 611), and for the first time, the Liverpool- Parramatta Transitway (route T80). “Thousands of Sydneysiders rely on bus travel every day to get from A to B and we know demand for services is continually increasing, particularly in growth centres in the North West and South West, as well as in inner city areas like Green Square,” Mr Constance said. “This is all about staying ahead of the curve to ensure customers have sufficient levels of service well into the future. “Since coming to office, the NSW Government has delivered more than 15,800 extra weekly public transport services for customers and today’s announcement is further proof that we’re committed to putting on even more where and when they’re needed most.” Ms Berejiklian said the Government would continue to fund more services and infrastructure in the upcoming Budget. “These double decker buses have allowed us to deliver good customer outcomes and we are pleased to be rolling out more of them across Sydney,” the Treasurer said.

  • Norwest Business Park
    Assessment of potential of executive housing to enhance Penrith industrial lands A report into three suburban industrial-office precincts Professor Phillip O’Neill Director 11 April 2007 NOT FOR PUBLIC CITATION WITHOUT PERMISSION Maps produced with the assistance of the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies at The University of Newcastle Executive Summary Description of the research project This project investigates the importance of the provision of executive housing as a co- location input for the successful development of suburban employment lands. The project responds to the need for information about the potential influence of a local supply of executive housing opportunities on employment and investment decisions in substantial suburban industrial-office precincts. The report draws on international studies; original research into the relationships between place of employment and place of residence observable in three Sydney suburban industrial-office precincts: Norwest Business Park at Baulkham Hills, the more expansive Macquarie Park corridor at North Ryde and the Austlink Business Park at Belrose; and supportive case studies from these precincts. Data for the investigations come from 2001 census data as reconfigured into travel zones by the NSW Transport and Population Data Centre. These data are supplemented by direct field observations, discussions and interviews. The report commences with a discussion of the definition of executive housing. Analysis of the three industrial-office precincts then follows, including three case studies of firms from the industrial-office precincts and associated employee/householder interviews. A definition of executive housing Executive housing refers to high quality housing in a neighbourhood that acts as a device to attract and secure quality professional, management and administrative personnel to jobs within a local economy.

  • Living in Australia
    Unit 2 Place and liveability Living in Australia Both Indigenous Australians and early European settlers to Australia made decisions about where to live based on the availability of resources they needed to survive – things like water, food and shelter. The factors that influence where people live today are more varied. As well as needing access to food, water and shelter, people also choose where to live based on things like access to services (such as hospitals and schools), environmental quality (such as access to clean air and parklands) and safety. Connections to family, friends and places also influence where we live. Where we choose to live can also change over time due to a range of factors, such as work and property prices. In retirement, many people opt for a sea change or tree change to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. chapter Source 1 An oblique aerial photograph of the Melbourne showing the suburb of St Kilda in the foreground4 4A 4B DRAFT Where do Australians live and How do people connect why? to places? 1 What features shown in Source 1 tell you that many 1 What common interests or hobbies might people people live in the suburb of St Kilda? who live in St Kilda share? 2 Why do you think people choose to live in 2 How might the lifesavers at St Kilda Beach be St Kilda? considered a community of their own? 112 oxford big ideas humanities 7 victorian curriculum chapter 4 living in australia 113 4A Where do Australians live and why?
