Thousands of new homes will be built near transport hubs across Sydney to help ease the housing crisis, however there are questions about whether the precincts will allow for enough affordable housing.
Thousands of new homes are slated to be built across Sydney to help ease the housing crunch, but there are questions about whether the plan includes enough affordable housing options.
But the final rezoned areas include revised down quotas for affordable homes in perpetuity compared to the draft proposal, particularly for Bankstown, Kellyville and Bella Vista and Homebush.and at the Bankstown Shopping Centre site are also planned.with new and improved public spaces have been earmarked for Bella Vista and Kellyville.Walking and cycling trails will be upgradedand enhanced public open spaces will be created across the precinct.e to the west of Hornsby train station.3.
"We are disappointed … but we do recognise that in a number of those sites, they have identified specific sites where there will be rates of 10 per cent and in some cases 18 per cent ."The government said it needed to create 377,000 new homes by 2029 to meet its commitment under National Housing Accords and address the housing supply and affordability crisis.
He said the government had lowered their expectations on those sites in the hope that landowners will sell to a developer. "Three per cent is much lower than that but this is not the only mechanism that governments have at their disposal to be delivering social and affordable housing."Planning Minister Paul Scully said government analysis had shown that a base of 3 per cent affordable housing was feasible for the precincts."It's the base level of 3 per cent and that's only a floor, that's not a ceiling," Mr Scully said.
