Transit-Oriented Development Summit | 6th - 7th November 2024 | Sydney Masonic Centre, Sydney, Australia

OVERVIEW

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is revolutionizing cities worldwide, driving them towards a future of unprecedented efficiency and vibrancy. Major investments are being made to merge transportation and mixed used communities. As Sydney grapples with rapid population growth projected to reach over 6 million by 2036 and urbanization, TOD presents a strategic approach to integrate high-quality public transportation systems with mixed-use residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. The New South Wales government has committed over AUD 55 billion to public transport projects over the next decade, including the Sydney Metro and Light Rail extensions.

Notable projects include the transformation of Central Station into a world-class transport interchange and the development of the Western Sydney Aerotropolis. The Sydney Metro West project is a new 24-kilometre underground metro railway which will double rail capacity between Parramatta and the Sydney CBD, transforming Sydney for generations to come. The project has achieved a significant milestone with the arrival of two tunnel boring machines at Burwood North Metro Station. These machines have excavated over 6 km each and are part of a plan to complete 24 km twin tunnels linking Greater Parramatta to the Sydney CBD by 2032. According to a study by Infrastructure Australia, every dollar invested in public transport infrastructure delivers up to AUD 4 in economic returns. Properties located near major transit hubs have seen value increases of up to 20%, reflecting the high demand for transit-accessible living.

Sydney’s commitment to TOD is evident in its ambitious projects and investments aimed at revitalizing urban spaces around major transit hubs. By strategically developing areas around major transit hubs, Sydney is addressing urban challenges such as congestion, housing affordability, and environmental sustainability. This approach not only improves the efficiency of public transport but also stimulates economic growth and enhances the quality of life for residents.
