ALGA welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities Inquiry into the Australian Government’s role in the development of Cities.
This submission builds on an increasing awareness and widespread acknowledgement of the importance of cities and towns in building sustainable growth and fostering sustainable and productive regions across Australia.
The importance of Australia’s urban and regional centres, be they capital cities, major cities or towns in terms of long-term economic development, sustainability and social harmony has been the focus of investigation by numerous reports, academic studies, government plans and inquiries.
