The release of the 2018 Australian Federal Budget and increased national spend on infrastructure has all eyes on proposed and impending major urban development projects around the country.

To accommodate our ever-growing population, the next 10-20 years will see a pronounced but necessary shift in Australia’s urban landscape. Transport projects like Badgery’s Creek Airport and rail link, and Perth’s Metronet will be crucial in enabling inevitable urban sprawl while still maintaining connected city centres.

It’s important that we view projects like these with a long-term lens as we are investing in a liveable Australia not only for us, but for our children and theirs to come.

Responsibility lies with government bodies and private entities overseeing these major developments to fully utilise the latest technology, ensuring major projects are well-planned, remain within budget and provide affected communities with the highest level of transparency possible.
