Changes made to NSW Complying Development Codes
For some months HIA has been working with the NSW Government on amendments to the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. These changes were designed to enable more projects to be considered as complying development.
In a win for members, these amendments were published last Friday 29 November and include some of the changes proposed by HIA.
Disappointingly however, the amendment also includes some new changes that were not previously canvassed with industry. These amendments have the potential to restrict the use of complying development particularly for new homes.
HIA has raised these concerns with the Government and is continuing to seek urgent action to ensure that projects are not forced unnecessarily down the council DA pathway. Read HIA's full member alert.

HIA welcomes apprentice incentive
“Today’s announcement of a $10,000 incentive to boost the number of skilled workers in key housing trades is a welcomed response to the crippling labour shortages the residential building industry has been faced with for decades. HIA has long called for milestone apprentice incentives to grow the domestic workforce,” said HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin.
Land prices continue to dash the dream of home ownership (NSW)
