The Minns government will build apartment blocks for Sydney's essential workers, offering them cheap rent so they're not priced out of the city.
A $450 million build-to-rent package for essential workers will be set aside in Tuesday's budget. Paramedics have welcomed the plan and hope that any profits made could fund more affordable housing.
Tuesday's budget will set aside $450 million to build more than 400 build-to-rent dwellings over the next three years. "Any profits that come about as a result of the project will be reinvested so that we can potentially envisage stage two or stage three of this."The premier said an audit was underway to find suitable government land, including close to the city where affordability was at its worst."It may be that we need to effectively enlarge our site … to get the foothold that we need to put up a big tower.
