The environmental, social and economic costs of different adaption strategies must be properly considered. Strong credible property rights are crucial to securing sustained and ongoing investment.

This legislation expressly seeks to overturn a judgment of the NSW Court of Appeal. The Valuer-General has been wrongly assuming that a property owner had the right to erect an entirely new, modern, building in place of the existing building. To make valuations in this way, is to tax the owners of heritage affected properties for a right they do not have.

The not-in-my-backyard [NIMBY] group claims the absence of new transport infrastructure justifies their opposition to new homes. Major improvements to Sydneys transport network would smooth the way for Sydneys growth, but Sydney will need to cope with extra housing with or without new transport infrastructure. Theres no doubt that the congestion cancer is squeezing the life out of our city. However, this is nothing compared to a Sydney with no new homes. That would be a social and economic disaster of epic proportions.
