The NSW Government has released a discussion paper proposing significant changes to the assessment of low-rise housing in NSW. The NSW Government discussion paper proposes the use of a new Targeted Assessment pathway for low-rise housing that the Government thinks is low-impact, low-risk or has supposedly undergone detailed assessment at a strategic level.
Better Planning Network believes that a full and rigorous assessment of all developments is essential to ensure that the impact on the community, local amenity and particularly the neighbours is mitigated or minimised and therefore strongly objects to the proposed new Targeted Assessment pathway.
