Tom Forrest, CEO of the Urban Taskforce, said that today’s announcement of the State Government led rezoning of the precinct surrounding Burwood North station show what can be achieved when councils join the State Government on a pro-housing unity ticket.
Today’s rezoning will unlock 18,300 new homes. It is one of 68 State Government led rezonings taking place across the state and could result in as many as 236,000 new homes.
Just last week the NSW Government announced there would be 8.500 new homes in the Bays West precinct – shunning the self-interested lobbying of the bulk storage operators.
This shows the benefits of the NSW Government’s approach which is now centred on driving housing supply from the centre. Bit by bit, it is all making a difference.
