NSW government unveils regional housing taskforce, releases budget By Malavika Santhebennur 23 June 2021
The NSW government has announced that it is setting up a regional housing taskforce to address housing supply shortages, and has released the 2021-22 budget.
The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes made the announcement at an Urban Development Industry Association (UDIA) luncheon, and said that the government’s current focus is on creating new “greenfield” housing supply.
Mr Stokes said the taskforce would report back by September 2021 on how the NSW government could better utilise the planning system and other levers to increase supply.
