Complying development is a building and planning approval pathway that enables fast-track assessment of certain development types including housing.
“Approval for a new townhouse development via complying development can be obtained in a fraction of the time it takes to get a DA approved by council.
“Based on data from the NSW Government, councils took 158 days to approve new medium density developments. For complying development, it is an average of just 40 days,which is nearly 4 times faster for the same type of development.
“We welcome proposals from the NSW Government to increase the use of complying development. This will free up councils to focus on the assessment of more complex developments and the shift cannot come soon enough, said Mr Armitage.
“Complying development helps to reduce that timeframe and in turn reduces the cost of delivering a home by at least $15,000 and could be even more for apartment buildings.
“We know complying development works and is much more efficient. Now is the time for people to support fast track approvals and enable the full potential of complying development to be realised and help open doors to more housing for families across the state,” concluded Mr Armitage.
