  • The City of Sydney
    The City of Sydney City Planning, Urban Design and Planning, CVUT. Seminar Work by Phoebe Ford. LOCATION The City of Sydney, by M.S. Hill, 1888. State Library of New South Wales. Regional Relations The New South Wales Government conceptualises Sydney as ‘a city of cities’ comprising: The Central Business District (CBD) which is within the City of Sydney Local Government Area (LGA), the topic of my presentation, and North Sydney, which make up ‘Global Sydney’, and the regional cities of Parramatta, Liverpool and Penrith. This planning concept applies the Marchetti principle which aims to create a fair and efficient city which offers jobs closer to homes, less travel time and less reliance on a single CBD to generate employment. The concept is that cities should be supported by major and specialized centres which concentrate housing, commercial activity and local services within a transport and economic network. Walking catchment centres along rail and public transport corridors ‘One-hour Cities’ of the Greater Metropolitan Region of Sydney Sydney’s sub-regions and local government areas Inner Sydney Regional Context City of Sydney Local Government Area Importance Within Broader Context of the Settlements Network • Over the last 20 years, ‘the Global Economic Corridor’ - the concentration of jobs and infrastructure from Macquarie Park through Chatswood, St Leonards, North Sydney and the CBD to Sydney Airport and Port Botany- has emerged as a feature of Sydney and Australia's economy. • The corridor has been built on the benefits that businesses involved in areas such as finance, legal services, information technology, engineering and marketing have derived from being near to each other and to transport infrastructure such as the airport.

NSW Government i Department of Planning & Environment Sydney Metro City and Southwest – Chatswood to Sydenham Environmental Assessment Report SSI 7400 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Proposal Transport for NSW (the Proponent) proposes to construct the Sydney Metro City and Southwest - Chatswood to Sydenham proposal (the project), which forms part of a future modern high capacity rail network, which also includes Sydney Metro Northwest (currently under construction) and the proposed Sydenham to Bankstown upgrade project. The project is primarily an underground metro rail line, 16.5 kilometres in length, between Chatswood Station and just north of Sydenham Station. New metro stations would be provided at Crows Nest, Victoria Cross, Barangaroo, Martin Place, Pitt Street and Waterloo; and new underground platforms at Central. The project facilitates and responds to Sydney’s forecast population and economic growth and the existing and emerging constraints on the existing rail network.

  • Liberal Party of Australia, New South Wales Division Objection to Proposed Redistribution
    1 LIBERAL PARTY OF AUSTRALIA, NEW SOUTH WALES DIVISION OBJECTION TO PROPOSED REDISTRIBUTION 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. The Liberal Party of Australia, New South Wales Division (the “Liberal Party”) objects to the redistribution proposed by the Redistribution Committee for New South Wales. This objection is lodged with the Electoral Commission pursuant to section 69 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. 1.2. In summary the Liberal Party objects to the following: (a) Wentworth/Kingsford Smith/Sydney – the Liberal Party objects to the proposed boundaries between these three divisions. The primary basis for the objection is that these proposed boundaries do not give due consideration to community of interests within Wentworth and community of interests within Sydney. (b) Paterson/Newcastle – the Liberal Party objects to the proposed boundary between these two divisions. The primary basis for the objection is that the proposed boundary does not give due consideration to community of interests within Paterson, especially for the Port Stephens local government area. (c) Country New South Wales and western Sydney – the Liberal Party objects to the boundaries for the proposed divisions of Macquarie, Calare, Parkes and Parramatta (with consequential effects for some other proposed divisions in country New South Wales and western Sydney).The primary bases for the objections are that the proposed boundaries: (i) do not give due consideration to community of interests between Bathurst and Orange, 2 (ii) do not give due consideration to community of interests between the Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury region, (iii) are based upon an erroneous conclusion about the strength of communities of interest between Bathurst area and the Blue Mountains, (iv) result in a division of Parkes which is far too large, and (v) split Parramatta CBD from the division of Parramatta.

  • South West Rail Link Concept Plan and Environmental Assessment
    South West Rail Link Concept Plan and Environmental Assessment EcoTransit Sydney Submission PO Box 630 Milsons Point NSW 1565 0438 253 022 [email protected] Introduction 1. EcoTransit Sydney is a community-based organisation that is dedicated to promoting ecologically sustainable modes of transport for Sydney. 2. EcoTransit is broadly in agreement with many of the stated objectives of the South West Rail Link (hereinafter ‘SWRL’) and of the Metropolitan Rail Expansion Programme (hereinafter ‘MREP’). In particular the intention to improve the public transport system across metropolitan Sydney is welcomed. 3. A desired outcome of the SWRL project is stated as the facilitation of Transit- Oriented Development (‘TOD’) in the South West Growth Centre (‘SWGC’). Whereas EcoTransit also welcomes this approach, TOD is something that must be extended city-wide across the transport network. 4. EcoTransit would like to highlight the dangers in allowing private vehicle usage to become dominant in the SWGC, and such dominance entrenched, in the event that the SWRL is in any way delayed. This has been the case for the majority of new housing estates in the south-west over the last two decades. Existing Context 5. In terms of the Transport Context for this project, it is noted that the existing rail network to this area has frequencies described as ‘relatively convenient.’ [2.3.1] This is patently wrong for users of the network outside peak hours and is not borne out by experience. It is important for planners to realize that Macarthur services to/from the City are practicable for the great majority of train travellers only by the East Hills line.
