HOUSING NOW! 2024 POLICY PLATFORM

A plan to make housing fairer for everyone in NSW. Read about the 10 new policy suggestions to make housing more accessible.

We have identified five key areas to move the dial on delivering new homes quickly:

Continuing planning policy reforms, including 10 priorities in our plan.
Coordinating the delivery of supporting infrastructure for housing.
Coordinating the delivery of the $5.1 billion social housing package.
Resolving unreasonable agency blockages to speed up approvals in the planning system.
Using call-in powers so major housing projects can be assessed and determined taking into account the urgent housing crisis.

Delivering the housing accord in NSW is a huge challenge, but we cannot afford to give up. The stakes are too high to maintain the status quo and we need to be working collectively to provide a fairer future for the next generations because everyone deserves a place to call home.

Housing Now!’s new plan sets clear tangible actions that can be taken to provide a fairer system and deliver the housing our State desperately needs.
