A series of Green Plans have been developed for nominated ‘Planned Precincts’ which are situated in the high growth areas across the Sydney region, often associated with major infrastructure projects such as new railway stations, metro lines, hospital precincts and greenfield land release.

The purpose of the Green Plan is to ensure the provision of green infrastructure is embedded in the early planning phases of the Planned Precincts. The Green Plans assess the current situation in terms of population numbers, land use, open space provision, tree canopy cover and walkability within the Precinct and provides recommendations based on the population and land re-zoning scenarios presented for each Precinct.

The Green Plans looked at industry benchmarks and best practice examples to provide creative solutions to open space provision, urban tree canopy and removal of barriers to walkability and access to open space areas.
