The NSW government is pushing ahead with sweeping planning reforms, with thousands of new homes to be built around soon-to-open metro stations.
Almost 32,000 homes will be built near train stations in Crows Nest, Homebush and Bankstown as the NSW Labor government moves to speed up construction and increase density around transport hubs amid the worsening housing crisis.
Of the new homes, as many as 488 will be earmarked for affordable housing near Royal North Shore Hospital, one of the largest general hospitals in Australia. Each of the TOD accelerated precincts will also have access to changed planning rules unique to those precincts to accelerate the delivery of homes and will share in $520 million, which has been reserved for infrastructure such as critical road upgrades, active transport links and open spaces.
