Improving the NSW planning system

 

NSW Housing Code

The NSW Government, as part of its ongoing planning reforms, has released the NSW Housing Code for lots greater than 450m2.

The NSW Housing Code outlines how new detached single and two-storey houses and home alterations and additions on specific lot sizes and zones can be approved within 10 days. It also outlines how 40 different types of minor improvements, such as garden sheds or rainwater tanks, can proceed without planning or construction approval.
