How to view Transport Oriented Development (TOD) areas in NSW

Using the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) data, you can easily identify properties and sites near key transport hubs—like train stations, bus stops, and other transit links—to make smarter decisions when planning or selecting sites based on transport accessibility.

What is TOD? TOD is a land use planning approach by the NSW Government that encourages sustainable and mixed-use development around transport and aims to create vibrant and walkable communities.

The TOD data seamlessly integrates with our existing planning layers, zoning information, and public transport amenities, offering a complete view to support your projects.

This feature is available for Standard, Advanced and Enterprise customers. If you wish to upgrade, please visit our plans page.
