EVENT OVERVIEW

With NSW's population predicted to grow to 9 million by 2036, the planning and delivery of transport solutions needs to be in lock-step with the demands of changing demographics.

With existing infrastructure and services just meeting the current needs of NSW, what models and modes of transport are needed to meet the State's future growth and demands?

With a decentralised population, what mix of transport solutions will be needed to ensure sound economic development across emerging economic hubs across the State?

In Part 2 of CEDA's Transport Infrastructure series, an expert panel of speakers will examine the Urban and Regional Transport Networks and the reforms necessary to connect people with cities, business and increase productivity and efficiency.
