City Deals are the primary tools for delivering the Smart Cities Plan. City Deals are a new approach to coordinating investment, planning and reform across the three levels of government in partnership with business and communities. They are developed in collaboration with communities and other stakeholders, addressing local challenges while capitalising on local advantages. As at September 2016, three inaugural City Deals have been announced for Townsville, Launceston and Western Sydney.
Through City Deals, governments, industries and communities will develop collective plans for growth and commit to the actions, investments, reforms and governance needed to implement them.
