The proposed service, dubbed ‘legal aid for NIMBY’s’ by HIA, would have given legal and planning advice to individuals that are trying to stop new housing development.
“The proposed introduction of this service flies in the face of the current housing crisis and our efforts to resolve it,” said HIA Executive Director ACT/Southern NSW Greg Weller.
“HIA understands that the service will not proceed due to there being no tenders received to undertake the IPAS.

“In the middle of the housing crisis we should be supporting development not spending taxpayer funds to stop new housing,” concluded Mr Weller.
