Urban.com.au –
The proposed new Housing State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) was officially released by the State Government today with the grandiose claim that it will “drive housing choice and supply”. Urban Taskforce has analysed the policy in detail and has found that this new policy will do the opposite.
There were far more opportunities to deliver affordable housing two years ago than there are now or under this SEPP. In the meantime, housing prices have gone through the roof. If the NSW government really supports housing diversity and more affordable housing choice, they should scrap this draft policy and start again.
