The new City of Sydney Sustainable Sydney 2030 plan responds to the challenges of global warming, rising oil prices, declining housing affordability and growth by suggesting five "Big Moves" to make Sydney more sustainable, vibrant and successful. Alongside the five Big Moves are ten strategic directions and many hundreds of small steps that are aimed at transforming Sydney into a green, global, connected city. The five Big Moves are:
- A revitalised City Centre at the heart of Global Sydney
- An integrated Inner Sydney transport network
- A liveable green network
- Activity Hubs as a focus for the City’s village communities and transport
- Transformative development and sustainable renewal
