Transport networks are vital for economic growth and community wellbeing. Roads, trains, metros, buses, ferries, light rail, cycling paths, and footpaths connect people to jobs and help us move around NSW.
The Transport and Infrastructure State Environmental Planning Policy makes it easier to plan, protect, and improve land for transport infrastructure.
Electric vehicle charging facilities
Electric vehicle charging units are facilities that allow people to recharge electric vehicles. As more people choose this type of transport, we need charging facilities in convenient locations across the state.
The NSW Electric Vehicle Strategy projects that by 2030–31, over half of new vehicle sales will be electric. This growing demand requires clear planning pathways to encourage investment in charging infrastructure.
The Policy provides clear approval pathways for electric vehicle charging units in Chapter 2, Division 17, Subdivision 3.
Development in busy road and rail corridors
Development near transport corridors requires careful planning to prevent conflicts, ensure safety, and protect the operation of transport infrastructure.
The Development Near Rail Corridors And Busy Roads Guideline (PDF, 4.4 MB) provides standards for building near transport infrastructure. It helps ensure new development works well with existing railways and major roads.
The Guideline applies to development under specific sections 2.98, 2.99, 2.100, 2.120, and 2.121 of the Policy. It provides practical information on planning, designing, and assessing developments in these locations.
