Transit Oriented Development Australia 2017

Transit Oriented Development Australia 2017 is a conference dedicated to the importance of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and the ingredients for successful TOD projects with effective private and government partnership.

Topics

• Decrease in productivity with more time spent on travelling to work, and evidence shows how this erodes urban lifestyles and living standards
• New government policies will encourage more densification near rail transit corridors and stations
• Growing rates of urbanisation and city sprawl are leading to unsustainable increases to traffic congestion and declining demand for outer-suburban living
• A range of project and infrastructure funding sources now recognise the benefits of integrated TOD projects, which provide a higher return on investment
• A more innovative and energised development industry is realising the value in mixed-use TOD developments, which can create much valued social spaces for families and young people
• Business and consumer preference trends to have access to public transport services, diverse services, better schools and healthcare, and high quality work and living environments
• Government is shifting its focus toward public transport and more diverse economic precincts as a means of managing traffic congestion
