In a landmark move, the Greater Cities Commission will bring together the cities of the Lower Hunter and Greater Newcastle, Central Coast, Greater Sydney and Illawarra-Shoalhaven to create a globally competitive city region, following the passing of the Greater Cities Commission Bill 2022.
Minister for Cities Rob Stokes said: “Thinking laterally will deliver better jobs, housing, education, health and lifestyle opportunities for a population which is expected to hit eight million in the next two decades.”
The Commission will finalise a new Region Plan by the end of 2022.
