The Impact of Transport-Oriented Development on Teralba and Booragul: A Local Perspective

Understanding the Transport Oriented Development Policy in NSW

Brad Thornton from The Agency Real Estate discusses the NSW Government's Transport Oriented Development Policy (TOD) aimed at addressing the housing crisis by rezoning land near train stations for high-density housing. The policy will significantly impact suburbs like Teralba and Booragul in Lake Macquarie, potentially increasing housing.
