Our key priorities for the new term include:
Surging ahead on environmental action, having already set the ambitious target of Net Zero emissions by 2035.
Greening the city even further, with $540million program over the next ten years, including planting 750 trees in our streets and parks annually.
Creating or upgrading 60 more parks and open spaces across the City, as part of a $2 billion ten year capital works program.
Public domain improvements such as the completion of George Street's transformation, an upgrade to Sydney Square between St Andrews and Town Hall, and $44m for Chinatown.
A $70m package to deliver 7.3km of cycleways, including Oxford Street West, while ensuring the State Government undertakes and completes its cycleway projects including Oxford Street East and Bridge Road in Glebe.
Supporting our cultural sector with a continued Grants Program, as well as permanent, secure space through a new Creative Lands Trust, and the delivery of Sydney Park's Brick Kilns as a new cultural space.
Ensuring a significant increase in the proportion of Social and Affordable Housing in key redevelopment sites, while collecting levies to deliver a further 1,950 affordable dwellings. We'll also create build-to-rent and co-living housing incentives and dwelling retention controls, while working with the NSW Government to deliver new housing targets in a planned and responsible way.
Continuing our First Nations support by delivering the next project in the Eora Journey, Yananurala, while re-contextualising colonial statues and reviewing the City's symbols and emblems.
Countering food insecurity with $4.5 million in grants to deliver a Sustainable Food Systems Policy and Action Plan.
Improve our Waste and Garbage services by developing a food scraps recycling program and insect farming trial, as well as new small trucks for laneway pickups.
Advocating for State and Federal action on critical issues such as pets on public transport, new Green Square mass transit and light rail down Oxford Street and Parramatta Road.
