Thinking Cities: Think about the strategic, economic and
cultural significance of each Destination, their best uses
and the benefits they can provide.
Funding Cities: Concentrate on innovative funding and
finance ideas to secure financial certainty.
Building Cities: Address not only design, but also how we
integrate different uses with infrastructure, what is the
best use or function for the land, and how we can use
transparent processes to achieve diverse outcomes and
smart delivery.
Living Cities: Create great places, great spaces and great
opportunities in transformed Destinations that are
resilient, happy and prosperous

6. Living our Values
A Culture of Excellence
6
For UrbanGrowth NSW, investing in research and learning opportunities is a means
to an end rather than an end in itself.
We are focused on delivering world class places and spaces.
Our urban transformation projects are complex and challenging – and we don’t
pretend to have all the answers…
So we want to work with the best and brightest minds to help us innovate, imagine
and deliver great places and great spaces for Sydney and for New South Wales.
Establishing unique multi-disciplinary partnerships with educational institutions
(at all stages of learning), industry, and other agencies will strengthen our
organisational culture of excellence that underpins all aspects of our project
delivery.

Community
Practice
“Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a
concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do
it better as they interact regularly” (Wenger, 2006).
• Problem solving
• Research and learning focus
• Transfer of Knowledge – information sharing
• Identifying knowledge gaps
• Leveraging existing research/information
• Coordination and synergy
• Discussing project developments
• Documentation of project outcomes
• Site tours – experiential learning

22. Communities of Practice
Presentation name 22
City Transformation Lifecycle:
We take a ‘whole of life’ approach to urban transformation in terms of communities we create
Thinking Cities:
Strategic significance of the site, economical and cultural context, potential land uses and
beneficiaries. Ideas, ambitions, aspirations and needs to define what we want a place to be.
Funding Cities:
Considers innovative economic and financial models to finance the aspirations established in Thinking
Cities.
Building Cities:
The highest and best integrated land use and transport planning to benefit the people who live, visit
and work in these places.
Living Cities:
focuses on the creation of great places and opportunities, and is fundamental to producing cities that
are resilient, happy and prosperous.

Urban Taskforce 11
Prepared a draft
strategy which we
are determined will
be implemented –
unlike previous
“studies” of
Parramatta Road
Collaborated with
Councils and
agencies to produce a
robust, funded plan
for the corridor
Gone on public display
twice. This was the
most comprehensive
public display program
that the organisation
has ever undertaken
Taken the
feedback from
those displays to
help draft a final
strategy

49. What next?
12
• UrbanGrowth NSW has done what was asked of it (prepare a strategy) and does
not have power to create statutory plans.
• Therefore, our work will now be taken on by the Greater Sydney Commission.
• The Commission will take the planning and design work and embed it into the
District Plans.
• It will also be supported by a Ministerial Direction under Section 117 of the Act.
• Triggers for the release and rezoning of land, including clarity on the timing of
transport infrastructure.
• In particular, the inner part of Parramatta Road needs to have better public
transport, which can only happen when WestConnex is completed.

• Triggers renewal in the station area with a
Special Infrastructure Contribution scheme to
be considered
• Transformational social renewal as an
integrated Communities Plus housing supply
project
• Exemplar Transit Oriented Design
‘Grand Central’ opportunity
• Requires one TfNSW owner and
coordinator – recommendation to
commission as a major program
of works with dedicated team
• Metro triggers major upheaval
that is an opportunity
Redfern - Eveleigh strategy
• Redevelop Redfern Station
precinct
• Use investment to support a
growing economic development
hub for innovation led
industries
• Support greatly improved USYD
connections
• Develop TfNSW and LAHC sites
at Eveleigh to release land
value for reinvestment
• >10,000 new jobs in
Redfern/Darlington
• Mixed use - 2,700- 3,500 new
private dwellings
ATP strategy
• Sale completed with completion of the remaining floor space in
about 5 years
• Potential to expand similar employment space in North Eveleigh
and around Redfern Station

water.”
The Bays Market District will feature:
• a new world-class market food offering and dining attraction
• a reimagined Fish Market, including wholesale and retail functions
• a Bays Waterfront Promenade to seamlessly connect with a bustling and thriving
place that brings residents and visitors back to the water
• compatible housing suitable to living on the edge of the CBD
• improved access and public transport.
