The Committee’s submission came out strongly in favour of Stronger Local Government input: the role and function of the GSC and its broader vision for Greater Sydney. In particular, the Committee was strongly The Committee’s submission argues that to encourage supportive of the decision by both the GSC, as well as further alignment going forward, Sydney’s councils should TfNSW to embrace the alignment of land-use and transport be given a greater role in the governance of the GSC.

Going forward, Sydney’s transport network must reinforce core city planning objectives and outcomes – supporting greater access to jobs and increasing residential density close to public transport. It must also enhance the liveability of places and centres, delivered through a hierarchy of transport mode users with greater emphasis on pedestrians and cyclists than has been the case in previous transport strategies.

Western Sydney, only 8,000 jobs are created. To rectify To ensure the GSC’s broader vision for Sydney is delivered this imbalance, the Committee argues that Sydney needs upon, there will need to be a specific strategy to prevent a “decisive shift in the proportion of knowledge jobs being departments acting as silos and to deliver consistency created in Western Sydney”, while also making sure that across government. the “jobs which are agglomerating in the ‘Harbour CBD’ are The Committee argues that greater clarity around made more accessible to people living in the Central and benchmarks, metrics and targets for assessing the Western Cities”.

Rebalancing the city using connectivity and placemaking: The Committee welcomes the GSC’s focus on placemaking as an employment generator, and agrees that “supporting the revitalisation of our many town centres and improving their connectivity with better transport is critical to improving urban productivity, environmental sustainability and the health and well-being of our citizens”.

Locked Bag 1797 Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia Phone: 61 2 98524219 Fax: 61 2 98524185 Email: [email protected] Key Words: Agency practice, real estate agents, house prices, Sydney residential property, residential house sales. Abstract Large cities provide a broad range of residential property types, as well as a range of socio-economic locations. This results in a significant variation in residential property prices across both the city itself and the individual suburbs. The only constant across such a diverse range of residential property is the need for the majority of residential property owners to employ the services of a real estate agent to sell their property or to purchase a residential property. This paper will analyse the Sydney residential property market over the period 1994 to 2002 to determine the change in real estate offices numbers over the period, the profitability of real estate agency offices based on the residential house price performance of houses and units in these specific locations and the extent of changing residential house prices on agency profitability.

  • The Determinants of Homeownership Affordability in Greater Sydney: Evidence from a Submarket Analysis
    The Determinants of Homeownership Affordability in Greater Sydney: Evidence from a Submarket Analysis Mustapha Bangura & Chyi Lin Lee (2021) The determinants of homeownership affordability in Greater Sydney: evidence from a submarket analysis, Housing Studies, DOI: 10.1080/02673037.2021.1879995 (accepted version). ABSTRACT Recognising the existence of socio-economic and demographic disparities across metropolitan cities such as Greater Sydney, this study gauges the determinants of homeownership affordability in the different regions of Greater Sydney using local government area (LGA) data over 1991–2016 with a system generalised method of moments (GMM) and a panel error correction model (ECM). The results of the study showed that the determinants of homeownership affordability vary across the regions of Greater Sydney. Although house price and median personal income are the key drivers of homeownership affordability across all regions, the difference in the magnitude of these determinants between regions have also been documented. Specifically, Western Sydney is more sensitive to income and house price change than the other regions. In addition, Western Sydney is also sensitive to other determinants (i.e. housing supply, residential population, median rent, and housing investors), while no comparable evidence is found for the other regions. This clearly highlights the differences across regions and the importance of submarket considerations in the analysis of homeownership affordability. The implications of the study have also been discussed. Keywords: Greater Sydney; homeownership affordability; determinants of homeownership affordability; regional policy 1 | Page 1.0 INTRODUCTION Homeownership affordability has attracted extensive research interest in recent years. A number of factors are involved here. First, a deterioration of homeownership affordability has been observed in many metropolitan cities.

  • Geographic Disadvantage: the Demographics of Social Exclusion in Australia
    Geographic disadvantage: the demographics of social exclusion in Australia Paper for the University of Melbourne Social Inclusion Forum 25th to 26th of June 2009 Scott Baum Urban Research Program Griffith University William Mitchell Centre of Full employment and Equity University of Newcastle Abstract The question of disadvantage, deprivation and social exclusion cuts across many layers of society. It clearly impacts on individuals and this is where policy is often directed. However, space and place are also important. Many suburbs bare the negative outcomes of transitional periods of social and economic change. These transitions, that impact on individuals and families, are also reflected in the geographic patterns of disadvantage because of where people live and their interactions within the wider metropolitan systems. Using output an index of relative disadvantage this paper considers how these patterns of disadvantage are a feature of Australian cities and how the spatial patterns of disadvantage might be shifting as a result of the current global economic crisis. About the authors Associate Professor Scott Baum is a Research Fellow in the Urban Research Program, Griffith University.
