Future of the South District

The South District is part of the Eastern Harbour City. Its vision will be achieved by:

• Supporting the growth of the ANSTO innovation precinct, health and education precincts, Bankstown Airport-Milperra industrial area and the District’s strategic centres
• Retaining industrial and urban services land and freight routes
• Optimising on the District’s locational advantage of being close to Sydney Airport, Port Botany, the Illawarra and Port Kembla
• Building on the District’s connections to Parramatta, and in the longer term to Liverpool and Western Sydney Airport
• Sustaining vibrant public places, walking and cycling, and cultural, artistic and tourism assets
• Matching growth and infrastructure, including social infrastructure
• Protecting and enhancing natural assets including waterways and beaches, bushland and scenic and cultural landscapes
• Providing innovation in providing recreational and open spaces, and increased urban tree canopy
• Transitioning to a low-carbon, high efficiency District through precinct-scale initiatives
