“The announcement that the rezonings and consolidated planning controls for Gosford City Centre and West Gosford will be progressed under the State Significant Rezoning Policy demonstrates serious intent to tackle the housing crisis.
“Announcements such as this provide the certainty the construction sector needs. As a result, the NSW Government is giving builders and developers the confidence to invest capital and resources in Gosford.
“With high level of demand for residential building on the Central Coast, the rezoning will in time be a catalyst in alleviating pressures on the housing sector, delivering much-needed housing stock.
“Over time the supply of diverse housing will also have a significant impact on broader economic activity, which will in turn result in societal benefits.

“Over the last 25 years, the price of the typical new residential lot of land has risen more than three times faster than construction costs,” stated HIA Chief Economist Tim Reardon.
