Connection to the TfNSW State road network has been a major impediment to delivery of the Hunter’s housing supply and employment areas for many years. UDIA believes that the draft HRTP falls well short of providing a plan for how the Hunter’s transport network will be planned and delivered to support the region’s expected high rate of growth over the next 20 years. In particular, the draft HRTP fails to identify how TfNSW will deliver the enabling infrastructure necessary to support the needed supply of new dwellings and employment areas in accordance with NSW Government population projections and housing and jobs targets. UDIA offers recommendations to improve the Plan.
