Subdivision and planning are intricately linked processes, each influencing and shaping the outcome of the other.
The vast majority of NSW’s housing stock is currently made up of high-density and traditional houses. The issue with the focus on high-density housing is that they’re not socially sustainable. They also fail to offer the diversity, both in housing type and pricing which is what NSW needs. The majority of young family’s needs aren’t being met in a standard apartment block. However, affordability can become an issue when looking for a traditional home with Sydney's rapid acceleration in price growth for traditional houses. There’s an unfulfilled need for medium-density housing and what has become known as ‘the missing middle’.
