3. Meeting the challenge of Urban Growth
+ Our big cities are growing in area which puts stress on infrastructure, service delivery and the environment
More than 11 million extra people will need accommodation in Australia to 2050 – Double the average growth rate across the OECD.
+ Australia’s three-tiered governance structure can make it challenging to consistently deliver liveable places
Communities are increasingly disappointed by their experience of growth
+ Sector-led planning can lead to uncoordinated outcomes for communities
Purpose of the slide = describing the context/ challenge
