The Hunter has a role to play in fixing the housing crisis. One of the ways the NSW government wants us to take more growth is by developing land around underused railway stations. These are called Transit Oriented Developments, or TODs.
TODs are great idea, and the NSW government should be commended for trying to use them to drive housing growth. Done well, TODs reduce traffic congestion, promote efficient land use, and create jobs close to where people live. A handful of successful TODs in the Hunter could also halt our urban sprawl.
