The NSW cabinet is considering new rules that could bypass anti-development councils, allowing for the construction of larger apartment buildings in priority development zones around Sydney Metro train stations. The details of how these rules would work are still unclear.
New rules that could bypass anti-development councils are likely to be considered by the NSW cabinet soon, although how they would work is unclear, according to the state’s property development lobby group.reported on Tuesday that the government was working on a plan for seven “ priority development zones ” around Sydney Metro train stations. The zones could supersede local planning rules , allowing bigger apartment buildings to be built than permitted now.
Tom Forrest, the chief executive of lobby developer group Urban Taskforce Australia, said the Department of Planning was working on the plan, but it was unclear what rules would apply in the zones. Councils could be asked to enforce state regulations, he said.“Our greatest fear is they would go with too few precincts,” Mr Forrest said. “I would say it is imminent. That’s why you’re getting leaks.”reported the government plans to encourage more apartments and townhouses up to 1.
The Sydney YIMBY group, which advocates for more housing, said it was concerned seven development zones would not be enough to meet housing accord targets.“There are more than seven stations on the Metro alone that should get this upzoning, and we worry that places closer to the city like Hurlstone Park are going to be exempted entirely,” it said on social media.
