A NEW Housing Delivery Authority has been launched to accelerate the construction of homes across New South Wales, with developers invited to submit proposals through an ongoing expressions of interest process.<\/p>\n
Acting Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Anoulack Chanthivong said the initiative is key to tackling the state’s housing crisis.<\/p>\n
“The NSW Government will do everything possible to build a better future for NSW so young people, families and key local workers have somewhere to live and in the communities they choose,” he said<\/p>\n
The HDA aims to streamline pathways for major residential projects, including a new State Significant Development process and a concurrent rezoning option.<\/p>\n
Monthly reviews of proposals will prioritise high-yield, well-located projects that can be delivered quickly and contribute to affordable housing supply.<\/p>\n
Property Council NSW executive director Katie Stevenson welcomed the release of the expressions of interest criteria, saying the authority’s swift progress reflects the urgency of the state’s housing crisis.<\/p>\n
“The Housing Delivery Authority has a clear mandate \u2013 to drive more flexible and faster approval pathways across the state so we can get more housing delivered more quickly,” Ms Stevenson said.<\/p>\n
She added that lowering thresholds for large-scale residential development should reduce delays and provide confidence for the property sector going into 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
