Discussion Of Homes In Western Sydney - Western Sydney Community Forum, Western Sydney University & Wentworth Community Housing

Home in Western Sydney

Paper Launch and Discussion

Western Sydney has been described as the engine room of the NSW economy, a fast-growing and vibrant region. Western Sydney’s growth presents both opportunities and challenges. While there is an increase in prosperity there is also an alarming trend of a rise in homelessness, with housing affordability still a significant issue.

Join Western Sydney Community Forum and Wentworth Community Housing, along with our host Western Sydney University, as we launch Home in Western Sydney, a paper that provides a snapshot of affordable housing and homelessness across our region, and bring together well-known experts to provide a diverse range of views about the future of housing in Western Sydney.

Sydney Alliance Closer To Affordable Housing

With a Town Hall assembly just days away, it’s possible you missed it: the NSW Government has extended State Environmental Planning Policy No. 70 (SEPP 70) to all Local Government Areas. It’s a welcome change that we have pushed for together, and it removes an important barrier to Councils mandating affordable housing targets for new developments in their local government areas.

How did we win? Local power, and relentlessness.

In June last year, at our Going Local campaign training, 60 leaders set their sights on extending SEPP 70 as the next critical step in our housing campaign. It was a challenging task: building power to change an obscure planning mechanism. But local citizens, including members of the St Vincent de Paul Society, and other diverse communities, embraced the task of pushing local councils across Sydney to demand access to SEPP 70.

They met with Councillors and addressed their meetings. They hosted local housing forums across our suburbs, packing out halls in each corner of our city. They brought hundreds of people out of their homes to champion inclusionary zoning as a way through our housing crisis.

On the eve of our next big action, the Housing and Energy Assembly at Sydney Town Hall, the SEPP70 decision is a sign of what we can do together.

Onwards!

Housing & Energy Assembly - 14th March 2019 - Sydney Alliance

Save the Date: Housing and Energy Assembly
Sydney Town Hall
Thursday 14 March 2019
6:30pm for 7pm start, concluding at 8:30pm

In 2019, NSW will see one, likely two, elections. For civil society, this is an opportunity to call politicians to action on things that matter to our communities.

On 14 March 2019, the Sydney Alliance will return to Sydney Town Hall to pursue an agenda for affordable, secure housing, and clean and affordable energy. This action will bring together more than 2000 people from across formidable partners:

• The Sydney Alliance, with its campaigns around housing and energy (Voices for Power)
• NSW Vinnies
• Everybody's Home, the national campaign to fix Australia's housing system

An assembly like this is unique chance to experience the power of Sydney's civil society, and to stand for the kind of city and country that we want to live in. There will be incredible diversity, moving stories, concrete proposals and short, sharp contributions from elected officials, including commitments that can be measured post-election.

So, set this time aside in your diary for 2019, and start talking to your community about being part of the action. Online registrations are open now - click here to add your details and receive further info.

Fostering Family Friendly Flats - .Id The population Experts

Mount Druitt is facing growth in housing as land is rare  becoming less available.  We are currently moving from low density residential housing is moving away in our inner hub to medium denisty housing.

Well, whether or not we like it, our population in Australia compared to land mass is low but in our cities it is very high. This is because our children are staying to live in our cities and Mount Druitt area, in general. Also, as new people move in from other countries, we need to find other ways than using up and building  up on extra land to house families. So, the solution is use existing land and build taller housing estates, where families can live in flats and units.

See if we can accommodate Fostering Family Friendly Flats:
