What it is, Why it’s Important, and How it Shapes Sydney’s Development
With the New South Wales government predicting Sydney’s population to reach over 10 million by 2041, a response to urban growth and density is more important than ever.
Introduced in December 2023, the New South Wales Government’s Transport-Oriented Development (TOD) State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) aims to transform multiple Sydney areas by connecting major transport hubs with residential and commercial development. The effect of the policy has already commenced in areas such as Bankstown, Bella Vista, Crows Nest, Homebush, Hornsby, Kellyville, and Macquarie Park.
In this webinar, Matthews Folbigg Lawyers’ Principal Lawyer, Keli Law and Senior Associate, Gigi Au, will break down what the TOD SEPP is all about, how it could potentially impact the future of development in Sydney, and why it matters to everyone – whether you are a developer, a resident, or simply interested in how Sydney is evolving.
