“Earlier this year, a bipartisan roundtable was held for both sides of government to work together to find solutions to fix the broken planning system and HIA is reassured to hear that a reform package is now being prioritised, as housing matters for all parties and all people,” continued Mr Armitage.
Reports in the media point towards complying development being a key feature of the planning reform package and this is backed 100 per cent by HIA. Complying development is a much faster and cheaper approval pathway enabling fast-track assessment of development.
- Fast tracked complying development approvals can be issued in as little as 20 days, compared to a current average residential DA assessment time of 101 days.
- Homeowners can save up to $15,000 when building a house under complying development, with savings of up to $2,600 for home renovations.
- Time saved waiting for a new home approval means less money paid out on rent by NSW families, which can save tens of thousands of dollars.
“Alongside complying development, HIA strongly supports the work of the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) which is progressing large-scale more complex DAs as State Significant Development.
“Freeing-up councils from low impact complying development and the more complex SSDs, will speed up the planning system and let councils focus on the assessment of challenging local development projects.
“HIA stands ready to work with both the Government and Opposition to find bipartisan solutions to fix the broken planning system and deliver more homes for families across the state,” concluded Mr Armitage.
