EP. 1146 A SMALL STEP FOR COUNCIL, A GIANT LEAP FOR THE COMMUNITY! LET’S TALK RE-ZONING 🏘️

Ever wondered how zoning changes could possibly be as monumental as the moon landing? Well, brace yourself, as we delve into the seismic potential shifts in Sydney's zoning that have been creating a buzz, and could be a windfall for homeowners sitting on large blocks near shopping and transport areas. This episode is your ultimate guide to all the chatter about the proposed modifications – changes that could redefine the landscape of the greater Sydney region, the Hunter, the Central Coast, and ilewara, collectively known as the Six Cities region.Fasten your seat belts as we time-travel back to the nineties, drawing fascinating parallels between the shifts we saw then and what we could witness now. We dissect the rationale of high-density allowances in built-up areas as a cost-effective alternative to infrastructure development. Discover how this could impact developers, the potential for future housing, and the changes allowing terraces, townhouses, and two-story apartment blocks near transport hubs and town centres in R2 density residential zones. We also unravel the state government's identification of a gap in the approval of density in R2 and R3 zones and how these changes could cover 30% of the new homes needed by 2029.
