• Draft Investigation Area Strategic Master

plan

• Supporting technical studies including:

• Placemaking Strategy;

• Economic Development study;

• Draft Integrated Transport Plan; and

• Innovation Districts study.

• Draft Strategic Infrastructure and Services

Assessment (SISA)

Concurrent Exhibition Package


Strategic assessment of infrastructure aligned

with growth

Based on Place-based Infrastructure Compact

(PIC) model through collaboration with State agencies and Council.

Assessment considers:

• around 5,000 new homes built over last five years

• over 10,000 new homes forecast over the next 15 years.

Strategic Infrastructure and Services Assessment

(‘SISA’)


SISA Findings

Cost to 2036 – circa $6.5 billion

• $4.7 billion (for major city-shaping and city-serving transport infrastructure including development costs to enable planned delivery beyond 2036

• $1.2 billion required in the next 5 years

• $5.3 billion in medium to longer term (next 6 to 15 years).

Key infrastructure priorities

• New primary school and high school;

• Open space;

• Pedestrian walkability improvements.

Land required to deliver the infrastructure and services

• Total approx. 53 hectares

• Incl. 23 ha of sporting facilities and open space

• Note: Some facilities can be located outside the Precinct. Shared use of existing facilities should be considered first.

NSW Government likely funding source for the majority of costs

Key delivery issues

• Funding;

• Prioritising infrastructure delivery;

• Infrastructure delivery framework;

• Identification of lead agency accountable for delivery.


Integrated Transport Plan


Vision supported by a series of objectives that would shape decision-making for transport

infrastructure and services

Aligned with and in support of the collaboratively

developed place-based vision and objectives for

Macquarie Park

30+ potential transport initiatives identified to meet growth and align

with the transport vision and objectives

Integrated Transport Plan – Next Steps

Further validate the set of relevant transport

infrastructure and service initiatives using transport

and traffic modelling

Initiatives will need to be implemented by both

local and state governments

Sequencing of redevelopment will be

considered to align growth with the provision

of infrastructure

Improve the quality of movement

‘Woven ways’

Improve the quality of place

‘Belonging & revealing culture’

Vision & Objectives

Improve the business community

‘Reciprocity, diversity and sustainability’

A growing home to world class businesses,

innovation, research and education, Macquarie Park

is competitive and resilient, with a stronger role

within Greater Sydney and Australia’s economy.

It is a place for people, characterised by its

connectivity and the unique setting of Wallumattagal

Country – a place of rivers and fertile wetlands with

a deep history of learning, trade and culture.

It is a place where people go to share ideas; a place

that fosters creativity through interconnected

relationships between people, businesses, places of

education and a renewed connection to Country.


Drive the transformation of Macquarie Park into an innovation district

Scale and time new development to match infrastructure capacity

Big Moves for Macquarie Park


Rebalance transport uses

Prioritise and enrich the pedestrian experience



Create sustainable neighbourhoods within Macquarie Park, each with their own identity

and role

Connect to Country and deliver better quality open spaces



The draft masterplan proposes:

• retaining a commercial core;

• 20,000 new jobs;

• key locations for 5,450 – 7,650

new homes;

• a fine-grain road and pedestrian

network;

• a fine-grain open space network;

• strengthened synergies with

adjacent precincts.


Draft Master plan Overview

• Rebalance the split between car

use and sustainable transport;

• safe and attractive walking and

cycling infrastructure, integrated

with open space;

• a dense network of walking

routes;

• investigate paths of travel from

south side of Epping Road to

Macquarie Park.

Place Strategy;

• coordinates State agencies; and

• sets priorities for Macquarie Park.
