The Urban Taskforce has proposed a approach to the supply of more affordable housing as a modification of the state government’s Affordable Rental Housing State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP). This policy was brought in by the Labor Party in 2009, to provide up to 20% of a housing development as being affordable. The modification needs to increase the uplift to 20% in floor space and height and to maintain the requirement of affordable rents for 10 years. We urge all political parties to consider this practical and achievable approach to delivering more affordable homes.”
