Australian Institute of Urban Studies' City Briefing - Project Sydney: Sydney's Transport System

Robert Whitehead, former Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, will discuss the aims and scope of Project Sydney, a campaign launched by the paper on 22 August to get some answers to the continuing failure of government to implement extensions and improvements to Sydney’s transport system.

Ron Christie, former Co-ordinator General of Rail, is heading a public examination of the strategy required to upgrade the ailing system.

Robert Whitehead, who is now Director of Marketing and Newspaper Sales for Fairfax Media, is an urban enthusiast who has previously driven SMH coverage of planning issues in the metropolitan area, of which our members will be aware.

This promises to be a most interesting talk, at 5pm as usual, following the AIUS Annual General Meeting at 4pm.

The venue is the Norman Selfe Room, Level 3 of the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts, 280 Pitt Street (between Park and Bathurst). Entry is free.
