UDIA NSW Submission to the Housing SEPP

UDIA has been a strong supporter of the policy to provide diverse housing opportunities through simplified planning pathways and incentives, however the draft Housing SEPP as exhibited appears contrary to this intent, with the proposed standards and reduced incentives likely to have a detrimental impact on feasibility for diverse, affordable and seniors housing models. UDIA analysis indicates that the draft Housing SEPP is likely to deliver the opposite effect to the intent of the Housing SEPP, loosing ground already made. 30
