This Metropolitan Transport Plan was intended to augment Sydney's then metropolitan strategy City of Cities (2005).

The Metropolitan Transport Plan delivers: • A 25–year vision for land use planning for Sydney, and a 10–year fully funded package of transport infrastructure to support it. • A new Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority to work across State agencies, local government and the private sector to deliver new housing, infrastructure and investment in key centres and corridors. • A commitment to build Parramatta as our second CBD, and recognition of its role as an essential transport interchange for Western Sydney. • An historic partnership between the City of Sydney and the NSW Government to deliver integrated land use planning, infrastructure and funding in Central Sydney.
