The NSW Government is expanding its Urban Development Program (UDP), which includes a housing insights dashboard, following a successful pilot program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expanded UDP is aimed at helping to boost housing supply by prioritising infrastructure for development-ready land, removing roadblocks and enabling more homes to be built in the right places, faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dashboards are already operating successfully in the Lower Hunter, Newcastle, Central Coast, Illawarra-Shoalhaven and the Western Parkland City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program is now being introduced to the Central River City and will be expanded to the Eastern Harbour City next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through online dashboards, the program monitors housing supply in each area, tracking key housing data and supporting annual audits of land for housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also helps inform the NSW Government\u2019s new infrastructure contributions scheme which better connects housing growth and state infrastructure delivery, including schools, hospitals, roads, and parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
