A Metropolis of Three Cities - Delivering the Plan

A new direction

The delivery of A Metropolis of Three Cities – The Greater Sydney Region Plan will bring together a range of important stakeholders including; the NSW Government, local councils, industry and the community.

Greater Sydney District Planning

Greater Sydney District Planning will guide the implementation of the plan across the five districts that form the metropolitan area. They inform local environmental plans, community strategic plans and the assessment of planning proposals.

The District Plans also help councils to plan and deliver for growth and change and to align their local planning strategies to place - based outcomes.
