‘Do better’ on affordable housing, NSW government urged, as development exposes low commitment

Abstract

Almost 13,000 homes have been promised in one of NSW’s largest new housing developments. The NSW government is being urged to ‘do better’ by increasing the number of affordable homes in one of the state’s biggest development projects on the outskirts of south-western Sydney.

Of the 13,000 new homes promised at Appin, only 187 are required to be affordable housing. An advocacy group says the development’s 5 per cent affordable housing target is “extremely disappointing”. Additional social and affordable housing may be secured during future State Planning Agreement negotiations.
