The Minns Labor Government is accelerating the delivery of more than 68,000 new homes across regional communities, with a $3.8 million investment to help councils unlock housing supply sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twenty regional councils across NSW will share in the latest funding from the Regional Housing Strategic Planning Fund (RHSPF), which will support critical planning work needed to enable thousands of more homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This funding will fast-track work which is critical to support sustainable growth that aligns with both demand and infrastructure needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This investment is supporting councils right across NSW from Newcastle to the Central West, Riverina, Murray, Northern Rivers and more so they will be better equipped to deliver more diverse, well-located and affordable homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funding will be used to deliver technical studies and policy frameworks needed to guide future growth, such as local housing strategies, infrastructure servicing plans, contributions plans, and development control plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councils have co-contributed $1.1 million, bringing total investment in this round to $4.9 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its launch, the RHSPF program has funded 80 strategic planning projects worth $20.3 million. Councils have completed 36 projects under rounds 1 to 3, helping to advance an estimated 62,000 dwellings along the housing supply pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is part of the Minns Labor Government\u2019s plan to build a better NSW with more homes and services, so people have somewhere to live and in the communities they choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
