Planning for Sydney's growing population

Executive Summary
The population growth is dynamic in Sydney, but it has become difficult to control the system.
the costs of the effective actions are found to be unacceptable where the population growth also
needs to be accommodated in the way where the neutral social, economic and the environmental
impacts are set in the host regions. The positive values depict about the communities that occupy
the parts of growing regions which tends to be still with employing mechanisms. The limitations
are for stifling the local population growth and working over the mechanisms where the
restrictions and prohibitions are o the development to allow a proper growth. There are different
reference points, where in around 40% of immigrants in Australia tend to settle in Sydney which
drives the annual growth rate of approximately 1.4%. This is above the growth rate of Australia.

Introduction
The control population growth has a major focus on the working of different policies and
projects. It has been seen that with the decline of mortality, there are large attributes towards the
rising standards of living where the emphasis is on the improvement of nutritional status. the
report discusses about the issues and how Sydney has a major impact with the social, economic
factors (Ruming, 2014). The schemes are related to focus on Helping hands approach that will
help in maintaining the growth rate.
Visual summary of the key aspects

Define the key issues
With the improvement in the technology, there is a major decline in the death rate where the
people can rely on treatments and medicines that help them to live for long time. The better
medical facilities have brought a major change to the industrial revolution. Here, the science is
also able to bring the industrial revolution with the disturbance mainly through the means of
producing food which allowed the families to feed more. The illness has also claimed that there
are different people who are now working over curing the diseases. There are trying to overcome
the poverty and work over the technological advancements and fertility treatment (Rothwell et
al., 2015). The immigration and the effectiveness are through the availability in terms of medical
education security and employment.
What is the evidence / data that links to the issues?
Some of the data evidence are shown below:
The articles clearly describe about the change in the industrialisation, agriculture and the
information technology which are not encouraging the family size through the government
subsidies. There is a major ethical and the practical dilemma as well.

What are the key terms
a. The affordable housing where the prices have been very low, moderate and higher for
different types of people.
b. The building Sustainability Index for the energy and water efficiency in the houses to
ensure the proper designing (Badland et al., 2017).
c. The development assessment
d. The global economic corridor.
Summarise the need for the briefing note
The population growth requires more infrastructure. In Australia, there has been a developer
contribution which is for funding the new local infrastructure that is passed on to the new buyers
in the higher house prices with reduced affordability standards. Along with this, the poor
planning with high density developments in Sydney has worked on demand by constructing
vertical slums of the micro-apartments of under 50 square meters with some of windowless
bedrooms (Mok et al., 2014). The developments are based on weak planning control along with
working over the effects on affordability and scalability. With the change in the environment,
there is a major issue related to the Sydney housing market. The projections are for the
developers to build terraces or the smaller developments mainly through establishing the suburbs
on the city fringes. The forecasts are used by the government agencies to plan the city and the
needs of state infrastructure.

Provide policies or approaches
Here, the government under the Australian system should focus on directing and managing the
growth at the State and the Local government level over the land use and the service. The proper
planning, regulating and controlling will help in bringing a physical change and planning the
requirements which respond to the demands (Easthope et al., 2014). The infrastructure and
services are set with inadequate and over restrictive plans they are set for the extensive powers to
support and facilitate the growth. Here, the direct skills and the facilitations of resources is to
manage the growth which could bring a change in planning and regulatory process. The
influence is about the state and local governments, where Federal Government has the ability to
affect the outcomes. The policies like COAG Commonwealth-State Agreements, works on the
performance standards of state and local government. The State and local authorities can make
use of the extensive powers to support and facilitate the growth and the change. They have a
major influence on the direct skills and resources to manage the growth. This will help in
working over the regulatory processes and supply of housing and urban services (Fincher et al.,
2014).
What are the implications of your issue to other
government Ministers and/or departments
With increased populations, there are supporting cuts to education spending and increase to
pensions and fighting crime. The highlight is to implement the economic reforms to address the
sustainability of pension system with the public support. The supply of the affordable housing is
set within the subset of sustainable communities where the supply side factors, demand side and
government interventions are important for planning, and regulatory mechanisms. It is important

to focus on demand and supply that is an interactive loop for managing the demand side response
with response to the housing supply. The rising prices pressure in the housing market can be
eased through the new housing stock, where the factors are set beyond the producers control and
with higher level of production (Newton et al., 2014). There are new single dwellings in the
community and the medium density for the older and the disabled person for short supply in
Sydney Region. The government in relation to development is also for the production of housing,
and urban facilities.
What are the likely financial implications
The impact on the financial changes with the investment and the capital affect the long run
economic growth. Here, there is a considerable disagreement over the different kinds of capital
investments with enhancement of economic growth. The suggestion is about the population
aging with the lower domestic savings which induce a higher level of real interest rates. The
future investments with the would Treasure has a major effect on the demands from the domestic
economy where the growth also has a major effect on the consumption patterns. The
enhancement in the long run, with the labour supply and productivity has a major impact as well.
It includes the growth rate and working over the reduced GDP standards with commensuration
the impacts on living standards (Mees et al., 2014). With the confident planning, there is a
massive population growth which includes the essence of response for IPART.
It has been seen that there is a need to properly handle the assessment which demonstrates about
the increased capacity to meet the final benchmarks through increased dwelling and population
numbers. It will also provide a local employment opportunity where the strategy is based on
preparing the public exhibition. The predicted growth is in the housing and employment which

tends to attract the additional funding and infrastructure provisions. The growth is identified with
the different number of growing centres that are under construction. The potential growth of
revenue is also related to the development opportunities where the labour productivity has been
comparatively productive. The effect is on the rising of old age dependency, productivity growth
which needs to accelerate. The creation of the high skilled workforce through education can help
in improving the standards. Here, the focus is on the cost of education which includes the cost of
capital associated with either the debt or the equity financed fee payments.
Recommendation
A general awareness is important for the people to make them realize about the issues that are
increasing with time. Along with this, the medical facilities and other legislative actions, are for
providing the incentives that have been set with effective policy measures in combating the
development issues relating to the effectiveness. One needs to focus on spreading awareness,
women empowerment to work on empowering and fight against the discrimination which will
ensure the health and the aware society. The eradication of poverty will help in removing the
issues along with improving the standards of education. Through this, the awareness campaigns
and the other measures could be taken to control population.
Conclusion
Sydney has a major issue about the growing population. Hence, for this, they need to understand
the plight with development of the increasing population (Williamson et al., 2013). In future,
there is assurance of the high discrimination, illiteracy and poverty in the society which will ruin
the daily living standards. It is important to analyse that some things when done at appropriate
time results in an easy and better development.
