  • modelled on Perth and Peel @ 3.5 million
  • supported by a robust regional development framework (see Recommendation 19 in the Regional development chapter), along with evidence-based identification of strategic infrastructure needs to serve and support population change and economic growth
  • refreshed at least every 10 years.
