There are three separate State-led housing reforms that will lead to Ku-ring-gai’s population doubling within a few decades.
But we currently have residents out there (unintentionally or intentionally) mixing up the names of the reforms, mixing up suburb names, and mixing up the targets and durations so as to achieve their own political goals.
So just to be clear I will provide links to each of the reforms here.
NSW is seeking to deliver 377,000 new homes within 5 years under the National Housing Accord. Of the 377,000, Ku-ring-gai’s share is 7,600. https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/policy-and-legislation/housing/housing-targets
As part of delivering the target, there are three separate reforms being applied by the State to Ku-ring-gai.
In December 2023 they introduced in-fill affordable housing provisions. https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-12/in-fill-affordable-housing-practice-note.pdf
In April 2024 they introduced Transport Oriented Development Part 2 provisions. https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-12/transport-oriented-development-program.pdf
This month they will be introducing Low- and Mid-Rise Housing reforms. https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-12/eie-changes-to-create-low-and-mid-rise-housing.pdf
