The NSW Government’s investment in the Sydney Metro network and the stations at North
Sydney and Crows Nest will significantly improve public transport accessibility within the
Local Government Area. Driving modal shift from private car to public transport use will be
critical in ensuring the benefits of this investment are fully realised. With cars and light
commercial vehicles accounting for 66 per cent of total transport emissions in NSW,
it is equally vital we leverage this investment to drive decarbonisation across the transport sector.
While the Property Council supports these objectives, we strongly object to the
proposed dramatic reduction of permitted off street parking spaces in new high
density residential apartment buildings, mixed use and non-residential development.
