What are the Regional strategic issues that Council must address in its new LEP & DCP?
City of Cities Metropolitan Strategy In 2006 the State Government published a Regional Plan for Sydney, also known as the City of Cities Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney (Metro Strategy). The Metro Strategy was prepared to guide the growth of the Sydney Region for the next 25 years and embodies major decisions on the location of urban growth, new housing areas, employment, transport, schools and hospitals. The State Government anticipates that Sydney’s population will increase by 1.1 million people between 2004 and 2031 (i.e. from 4.2 million to 5.3 million), necessitating an additional 640,000 dwellings and 500,000 jobs.
