More than 8,000 homes declared state significant

A further 20 projects have been declared as State Significant Development following recommendations from the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Of these proposals, 18 are in metropolitan Sydney and 2 are in regional NSW.

If lodged and approved, this could create more than 8,100 homes, including affordable housing across New South Wales.

To date, 136 proposals amounting to more than 53,300 potential homes have been declared state significant.

Since the formation of the HDA, 47 projects have had Secretary Environmental Assessment Requirements issued and one Development Application has been lodged.

Recommendations from the HDA are published as required under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 before the SSD declaration.

This is part of the Minns Government’s plan to build a better NSW with more homes and services, so young people, families and key local workers have somewhere to live and in the communities they choose.
