More than 8,877 homes declared state significant

A further 28 projects have been declared as State Significant Development following recommendations from the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA).

Of these proposals, 25 are in metropolitan Sydney and 3 in regional NSW.

If lodged and approved, this could create more than 8,877 homes, including affordable housing across New South Wales.

To date, 215 proposals amounting to more than 79,094 potential homes have been declared state significant.

Since the formation of the HDA in January this year, 71 projects have had Secretary Environmental Assessment Requirements issued and 5 Development Applications have 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.
