The response was very significant with around 50 projects representing around 50,000 new homes being held up in Metropolitan Sydney. The projects are mainly on brownfield sites with around a quarter on greenfield sites. There are a range of reasons for the delays that include blockages from the council, awaiting traffic studies by Roads and Maritime Services, awaiting decisions from the Department of Planning and Environment, awaiting Transport for NSW and delay following council amalgamation process. (The list of projects and the number of potential new homes involved is on page 6 and 7). Most of these projects are in areas the NSW Government has encouraged new development through the exhibition on urban renewal plans. The sites are located in growth areas, urban activation precincts, urban renewal corridors like Parramatta Road and the Sydenham to Bankstown Metro corridor. The quickest way to lift housing production will be by unlocking these projects. AUCKLAND CASE STUDY The Auckland process to intervene in the planning process to lift housing supply is a good case study. The New Zealand Government developed an Auckland Housing Accord with Auckland City Council after Demographia listed Auckland as the fourth most unaffordable city in the world. A Housing Action Plan followed with Special Housing Areas being defined for fast track planning action for a focussed one year period. The Auckland Special Housing Area website contains maps of priority projects and regular updates on progress. The NSW Government has significant land holdings that it is developing as mixed use precincts. Examples include the Bays Precinct, Central to Eveleigh, and North Parramatta. To date UrbanGrowth NSW, the government’s development arm, has been selling land for the highest price but there could well be a requirement for say 30% of dwellings to be affordable rental homes. This could be a mixture of 10 year rental and longer term rentals managed by a Community Housing Provider. The NSW Government has already embarked on a program called Communities Plus to renew existing social housing by getting significant private housing to fund the social component. The program also envisages providing affordable housing as part of the package. Overall the program will deliver 23,000 social homes and 40,000 private homes including an affordable component. The first five sites are at Ivanhoe, Telopea, Riverwood, waterloo and Arncliffe. To drive these projects the state government will be the approval authority.
