Developer and critic on common ground
Earlier this year, this newspaper reported that for the first time in
almost 30 years, the city's population - 4,077,000 as of mid-year - was
within half a million of Sydney's, and gaining.
Both suggest following the lead of Rupert Hamer and his planning
minister Alan Hunt, who 40 years ago foresaw a need for regional
planning authorities to develop the city's ''green wedges'' - farmland
and open space between the endless suburbia.
They support ''town nodes'' outside the expanded
metropolitan area, with pre-defined population size and incentives for
employers to set up on location.
