A RE-ELECTED Rudd government would appoint a new Minister for Cities and form a dedicated taskforce to help the growing number of people living in Australia's outer suburbs.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Friday will unveil a strategy to tackle traffic congestion, inadequate public transport and a lack of local jobs on the fringes of the countries major cities.
Over the next 25 years, it's expected the number of people living in the outer suburbs will double.
But jobs growth at current levels won't match the population boom, forcing residents to travel even further afield for work and dragging down productivity.
Mr Rudd will outline plans for an industry-led Outer Suburban Growth Taskforce, which will work with all levels of government and the private sector on a 10-year plan to improve these burgeoning areas.
Increasing the number of local jobs in the outer suburbs will be top of the agenda for the new taskforce, which will be supported by an expanded major cities unit in the Department of Infrastructure and Transport.
Australia's first cities minister would also be appointed to help develop and implement the strategy.
This commitment has already been included in the budget.
