Eamon Waterford, CEO of the Committee for Sydney: 

“There’s a clear logic to bringing together the key planning entities across government, and we welcome the retention and increased independence of the Greater Cities Commissioners under the new regime. 

Whatever we do, we can’t hit the brakes on unified strategic planning across Greater Sydney and the broader megaregion – now more than ever, we need to take a long term and unified approach to planning land use, transport and economic activity.”
