More than 4,300 homes declared State Significant

A further 15 projects have been declared as State Significant Development (SSD) following recommendations from the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Of these, 14 are in metropolitan Sydney and one is in regional NSW.

If all are lodged and approved, the proposed developments could create 4,346 new homes across New South Wales, including affordable housing.

There are now 499 State Significant Development HDA proposals with the potential to create more than 154,000 new homes.

24 of these proposals have been approved, unlocking more than 4,400 homes, of which 11 projects have started construction.

SSD applications have now been lodged for a further 75 projects representing around 32,400 potential homes.

To date State Significant Development declarations have been revoked from 32 proposals which have not met timelines or where the applicant has chosen not to proceed.

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