NSW thanks the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) for the opportunity to provide industry feedback on their Shaping the Wollongong Health Precinct Strategy.
UDIA is invested in seeing the Precinct’s place-based strategy become a leading example of collaborative and efficient planning in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region, particularly given concurrent planning for the new Shellharbour Hospital and the redevelopment of the Shoalhaven Hospital.
UDIA is working closely with the State Government to ensure these policy settings are appropriately drafted to enable outcomes that positively contribute to new housing opportunities and deliver greater density where it is most accessible, most feasible, and most needed.
With the National Housing Accord start date imminent, UDIA encourages DPHI to find pathways that maximise certainty for industry.
