"You deserve better!" Mayor of Woollahra Councillor Sarah Swan addresses the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy and what you can do about it!
The NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy will significantly increase housing density and development in areas within 800 metres of town centres and transport hubs, and drastically impact the Woollahra Local Government Area.
Under the Policy, which came into effect in February, the characteristics that make Woollahra special – tree-lined streets, heritage features and pedestrian amenity – are on the way out, to be replaced with significantly taller buildings, less trees and more traffic congestion.
Woollahra Council opposes the NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy while advocating for appropriate housing growth in Woollahra.
A brochure highlighting the impacts of the NSW Government’s Low-and-Mid-Rise Housing Policy on our local area was sent with Council Rates notices in July. You can view the brochure here(PDF, 899KB).
