This chapter explains why the plan takes the form it does, what its functions are, a[...]of promoting and guiding the development of the Sydney Region. A Plan of Principles and Strategy In essence, the Outline Plan comprises principles, pol— icies and broad stra[...]urban struct— ure for the future development of Sydney, and has regard both to the need for economic eff[...]eals with the broad phys— ical structure of the Sydney Region - its living areas, main industrial and commercia[...]and the transport and communications systems.

Beyond this, the questions arising with respect[...]ications network in a form which will ensure that Sydney will be provided with move— ment systems appropriate to the twenty-first century. Plan Flexibility and Phasing It must be recognised that change is constant, and that the Outline Plan must not only be flexible enough to meet unforese[...]tions for con— tinuing growth after the initial plan period. It needs to be kept under review constantly, and the process of changing the plan to meet new conditions must be simple and rapid. In this process the Phasing Plan which defines the order of development and is des[...]and economical expansion, is a key element in the Outline Plan. The Content of the Outline Plan The plan comprises the following documents:- 1. The Outline Plan Map This shows the urban areas, the major[...] |
| [...]s of the principles and policies contained in the Outline Plan. 2. The Principles Diagram for the Sydney-NewcastIe-Wollongong Area. This shows the princi[...]he pattern of land use and communications for the Sydney Region in re- lation to the Newcastle and Wollongong are[...]coastal areas. 3. The Principles Diagram for the Sydney Region. This shows, in a wholly diagrammatic manner, th[...]basis in principle of the proposals shown in the Outline Plan. 4. The Phasing Plan. This plan shows the order of priority of development areas[...]nd policies which are a funda- mental part of the Outline Plan. For convenience the report is illustrated by small scale versions of the maps included in the Outline Plan, and also by a map which shows, in general terms,[...]te physical extension of urban development in the Sydney Region. Each of these documents should be regarded as essential and complementary parts of the Outline Plan. |

This chapter explains why the plan takes the form it does, what its functions are, a[...]s of promoting and guiding the development of the Sydney Region. A Plan of Principles and Strategy In essence, the Outline Plan comprises principles, pol- icies and broad strate[...]e urban struct- ure for the future development of Sydney, and has regard both to the need for economic eff[...]deals with the broad phys- ical structure of the Sydney Region - its living areas, main industrial and commercia[...]and the transport and communications systems.

Beyond this, the questions arising with respect[...]ications network in a form which will ensure that Sydney will be provided with move- ment systems appropriate to the twenty-first century. Plan Flexibility and Phasing It must be recognised that change is constant, and that the Outline Plan must not only be flexible enough to meet unforese[...]dations for con- tinuing growth after the initial plan period. It needs to be kept under review constantly, and the process of changing the plan to meet new conditions must be simple and rapid. In this process the Phasing Plan which defines the order of development and is des[...]and economical expansion, is a key element in the Outline Plan. The Content of the Outline Plan The plan comprises the following documents:- 1. The Outline Plan Map This shows the urban areas, the[...] |

Each of these documents should be regarded as essential and complementary parts of the Outline Plan. 8 |

Defence Uses The Outline Plan contains proposals for linking and exten- ding th[...]y use between urban districts.

In the meantime, the Outline Plan proposals reflect the present existence of the Li[...]gs and needs for the purposes of the Metropolitan Plan, but no comments have yet been recei- ved.

| Chapter 19 The Phasing of the Plan General One of the basic objectives of the Outline Plan is to en- sure that the priorities for, an[...] |
| [...]t is an integral, and indeed, a vital part of the Outline Plan. Once approved by the Minister, it is most desira[...]vestment to meet development needs. The Phasing Plan The phasing plan sets out the proposed order of land develop- ment[...]ly release of new areas for development. When the Outline Plan is placed on public exhibition, the Authority pro[...]completed in that period. Therefore, the phasing plan reflects this by superimposing three periods: 1975-85, 1985-95, and beyond. For example, the phasing plan shows, for the first decade, the land which will[...]0, but will not be completed by 1980. The phasing plan at this stage, is confined to indicating the timi[...]has been a basic factor in the formulation of the Outline Plan so far. General Order of Priorities The[...] |

| Chapter 20 Finance General The Outline Plan provides a broad guide and framework with- in whi[...]elated to the other. A primary object- ive of the Plan is to facilitate the most economical use of resou[...]nd communications in particular. However good the Plan may be, the final test is whether it can be imp-[...]tulated, most of the development envisaged in the Outline Plan will occur in some form in any event. Good planni[...]ich have an important bearing on the financing of Sydney's urban growth, and on the successful implementation of the Outline Plan proposals. Building Costs Some elements in the Outline Plan, such as transport, public[...] |

Of this total, the Outline Plan proposals will call for about 150,000 acres to be zoned for extensions to Sydney itself, and a further 100,000 acres in the Gosford-Wyong area or right outside the the Sydney Region. of these totals, about 30% will be needed for pu[...]0 acres may be neeáed for public purposes in the Sydney area itself, quite apart from lands for regional[...]generally for urban development as extensions to Sydney's main urban area, some are already shown as regi[...]ural qualities of environment which the people of Sydney have inherited make Sydney almost unique amongst large world cities.

It attempts to co-ordinate publi[...]ment. It does not deal with local detail. It is a plan for growth and change which will, itself, need to[...]upport for action to deal with them. This initial Plan is the beginning of a plan process, and not a complete and final plan. There will be many further details and proposals[...]shown on the Principles Diagram into reality. The Plan is intended to be sufficiently clear to gi[...] |

For this reason, the Authority would propose to place on exhibition concurrently with the Outline Plan Maps showing lands which it proposes for early re[...]t. Public Comment and Representations When the Outline Plan is placed on exhibition, it will be distributed t[...]to the general public. The main exhibition of the Outline Plan will be at the offices of the Authority at No. 302 Castle- reagh Street, Sydney. In addition, all local councils in the Sydney Region will be asked to place the relevant docu- ment on[...]sible for the preparation of the development area plan, and to ensure that it adequately reflects the intentions of the Outline Plan. 105 |
