    UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years.

  • Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney

    Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney

    Local Government Responses to Urban Consolidation Policy: Meeting Housing Targets in Northern Sydney THESIS PROJECT Planning and Urban Development Program The Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales Lauren Baroukh 3158821 - i - ABSTRACT Urban consolidation is the central housing policy guiding future residential development in the existing urban areas of Sydney. In accordance with the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy and subsequently elaborated in various Subregional Strategies, councils are required to achieve housing targets and accommodate higher density housing within their Local Government Areas. This thesis examines how councils are implementing these targets and achieving the urban consolidation objectives defined within strategic planning documents. It provides an analysis of council responses, primarily through the rezoning of land within revised Local Environmental Plans and local housing strategies. The thesis examines the factors which councils consider when selecting sites for higher density housing, such as proximity to town centres and public transport, the capacity of existing infrastructure and services, preserving the character of low density areas and determining appropriate building heights. The research indicates that councils are beginning to implement the housing targets and achieving many of the objectives suggested within the Sydney Metropolitan Strategy. In particular, the thesis identifies the issue of infrastructure provision as requiring further consideration by councils and state agencies. Higher density housing within existing urban areas needs to be appropriately located and planned in a way that responds to the unique characteristics of the locality. - ii - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Special thanks go to Christine Steinmetz for her valuable advice, guidance and support which is much appreciated. I would also like to thank the interviewees for their time and insights which have made a valuable contribution to this project.
