• Georges River LGA is included in the Eastern City which includes the Sydney City and economic arc from Macquarie Park down to Sydney Airport and Kogarah

• The Eastern City is an economic engine – has financial, business, professional services and innovation start-up sectors and a large proportion of knowledge-intensive jobs.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC ARC

STRATEGIC CONTEXT

• In May 2017, the Kogarah Local Environment Plan (LEP) 2012 – Amendment No 2 (known as New City Plan) was gazetted by the NSW State Government and is now in effect.
