“The Pattern Book designs are a great starting point and provide a level of certainty for builders, developers and property owners looking to undertake low rise medium density housing.
“It is fantastic to see that the pattern designs will be supported by a new 10 day complying development approval pathway.
“Streamlining the approval process for these designs will mean builders can get shovels in the ground much faster. Not only will this help get more keys in doors but it will also save thousands of dollars in costs that are caused by delays in getting new developments approved, ” added Mr Armitage.
“To be effective, it is critical that the new pathway provides sufficient flexibility. This is to ensure changes in design can be accommodated to reflect orientation and other site conditions which can impact on aspects such as energy efficiency.
“The new Housing Pattern Book is a step in the right direction however, more still needs to be done to deliver the housing NSW needs. HIA looks forward to continuing to work with the NSW Government to make this happen,” concluded Mr Armitage.
