The draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney sets out a new plan for the city’s future over the next two decades. By 2031, Sydney will have around 1.3 million additional people. We need to make sure there are more affordable homes, good job opportunities and easier ways to get around. You can play an important role in shaping Sydney’s future by having your say on these plans. http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/sydney
