If lodged and approved, this could create more than 5,200 homes across New South Wales, including affordable housing.

Of these proposals, 11 are in metropolitan Sydney and 3 are in regional NSW.

To date, 116 proposals amounting to more than 45,200 potential homes have been declared state significant and are now progressing through the state’s planning system.

Since the formation of the HDA, 43 projects have had Secretary Environmental Assessment Requirements issued and one Development Application has been lodged.

Recommendations from the HDA are published as required under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 before the SSD declaration.

This is all part of the Minns Government’s plan to build a better NSW with more homes and services, so young people, families and key local workers have somewhere to live and in the communities they choose.
