NSW needs more housing supply. We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to shape the Six Cities Region’s city planning around Sydney’s new world-class metro system and leverage existing rail stations to serve generations to come.

By building more housing near the metro and rail stations, we can enable more people to live close to transport, jobs, services, night life and amenities.

The Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Program will create sustainable and connected cities now and for future generations.

Community Infrastructure Program

The Transport Oriented Development program is helping to build more homes from the Illawarra to the Hunter with nearly 18,000 homes in the planning system around ten percent of which are already approved.

Councils can nominate projects for the first round of funding, from 23 February to 18 May 2026.
