The Planning Along The Bankstown Subway Line In Sydney Will Change Again? Developers May Have To Pay For It

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the NSW government is developing a new policy, which may require:

Developers of projects along the new subway line from Sydenham to Bankstown pay more "contribution fees" for new local infrastructure.

Previously, the state government released plans to add 90, 000 new housing units along the metro line. In response to criticism of the plan, the Planning Bureau director personally assured that the number of new homes would be a reasonable 35, 400, along the 13.5-kilometer subway line.

But the housing scheme has still faced criticism and resistance from local communities and the rival Labour party.

Anthony Roberts, NSW's director of Planning Bureau, told reporters on Wednesday that a necessary measure in the old city reconstruction project along the route from Sydenham to Bankstown was being implemented. There is real estate for sale in Australia.

A special "infrastructure construction fee payment plan" is being studied by relevant departments of the planning bureau to enable relevant funds to be invested in the infrastructure construction such as parks, roads and public areas. The money will also be used to renovate and expand schools and upgrade bus stops. We provide property for sale in Australia.

According to Khal Asfour, the mayor of Bankstown's local government, it is more realistic to revise the infrastructure levy than to provide 90, 000 homes along the subway line. Only in this way can we ensure that the local area has enough money to invest in infrastructure to support population growth.

The mayor told the media: "I am glad that the director of planning bureau has finally listened to my proposal to scrap the previous unreasonable regional planning and to allow the construction of 25 storeys of high-density buildings in individual areas. In addition, a new infrastructure contribution levy scheme is being developed, which will allow developers to help the government improve local infrastructure."

“But at the moment the state government has not fulfilled its responsibility to make public commitments to build additional hospitals and schools."

The local government of Bankstown is considering whether to take legal action to stop the redevelopment of the Bankstown-Sydenham rail line because they believe the project did not create benefits for local communities while spending money.

Property search NSW planning bureau chief response: "Although the original planning encountered many difficulties in the implementation, but the NSW Planning Bureau will continue cooperating with local government to formulate the plan. The state clear that NIMBY movement will interfere with project progress. But as long as the big picture is consistent across the region, the problem will be solved."

At the same time, the director of planning bureau expressed his understanding of the current dilemma. In his view, governments at all levels face the dilemma of persuading the public to 'sacrifice existing amenities for future benefits. So the situation is in expectation.

But professor Bill Randolph, of the centre for urban studies at the University of New South Wales, says this is not the case. He noted that "the Bankstown rail renovation project has caused unprecedented and destructive disruption" 

“Without proper coordination, resources support and timely adjustment, the transformation of these vibrant but vulnerable communities around Bankstown will lead to an unprecedented dislocation and isolation of communities, and eventually make the local area as crowded and depressed as CBD."

Professor Randolph said, "The communities along the Bankstown project are the only remaining concentration of low-priced housing around the CBD of Sydney, gathering a large number of low-income rental families. Allowing the reconstruction project to proceed as planned will lead to high-priced house real estate that current residents cannot afford, and further divide the local community."

"The reconstruction plans along the Bankstown line require public participation in and meet the needs of the public."

It is unacceptable that the entire community has been replaced as a result of the wrong planning, leading to the loss of local identity. If the wrong planning is not corrected, it will continue to haunt the city for decades to come."

Conclusion: the fierce resistance of local government and community has cast a shadow on the subway project and the old city reconstruction plan along the route. Whether everything goes smoothly depends on how all parties coordinate.   We sell Australian houses.
