Decision Maker: Council

Decision status: Recommendations Determined

Decision:

Moved by Councillor Scott, seconded by Councillor Thalis –

It is resolved that:

(A)        Council note:

(ii)         that nine City Deals have been announced to date, including for Western Sydney;

(iii)        that the City of Sydney and surrounds is a strong contender for a future City Deal;

(iv)       that City Deals are based on one of six focus areas;

(v)         that the City is in the process of developing its Sydney 2050 strategy; and

(vi)       the Sydney 2050 process is developing city shaping project ideas within the six focus areas that, once endorsed by the community, could form the basis for a City Deals bid;

(B)        the Chief Executive Officer be requested to:

(i)          once Sydney 2050 is completed, identify ideas and projects that have the potential to be developed into a viable City Deals bid;

(ii)         seek expressions of interest from neighbouring Councils and willing, capable non-government organisations to partner with the City to develop a City Deals bid; and

(iii)        identify resources required for the City of Sydney to lead a City deal bid, and report back to Councillors via the CEO Update; and

(C)       should the Chief Executive Officer identify that a Sydney City Deal proposal is viable, the Lord Mayor be requested to write to the Premier and Prime Minister indicating the City’s and its partners’ interest in the development of a Sydney City Deal, and seek meetings to progress this issue.
