Understanding TOD in Greater Sydney - Why the new metro line should be planned?

Based on the analysis of the TOD factors, there are enough reasons to support the metro proposal and transitoriented development:

• Unmatched public transport network plan- The only area without rail connections.

• Superior urban resources and attractions, which need critical infrastructure to support further development.

• Lower property prices in the central, and northern areas are a significant opportunity for redevelopment,

• The current transport mode, relying on private cars and buses, has shown inefficient performance seriously. This situation will be worse, inferred from the local high socio-economic index. If there is no substantial change, the vision of the 30-min city will be far from the Northern Beaches and even threatening the proud living environment.
