The developers encircled, and this person said NO!
This isn’t an April Fools’ joke, it’s happening in Sydney as we speak.
The real joke is the 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 of the Transport Oriented Development SEPP.
To deliver 1.2 million homes in 5 years, Australia is initially bottlenecked not by supply but by construction capacity. We need a 30-50% increase in construction workers to make it happen. But they have not planned for this increase.
I’m fully supportive of providing more homes near transport hubs, but it needs to be a carefully planned approach which involves community consultation.
The State Government’s proposal of rushing a SEPP in 4 months does not meet community expectations. Given our construction bottlenecks, a responsible approach would be to allow councils 18-24 months to properly plan for where the density should go, as well as the infrastructure and amenities to support.
I want to provide the future residents of NSW with a great place to live. But jamming in homes then retrofitting amenities and infrastructure does not give future residents what they deserve.
Happy April Fools’ Day.
