How should we plan for growth?

The April REDWatch meeting will explore the City of Sydney’s response to the NSW government plans to increase housing within existing city footprints as outlined in the government’s low and mid-rise housing proposal.

The government wants to force Councils to allow more homes to be built around suburb centres, railway stations and tram stops.  City of Sydney staff will respond to that plan and discuss how they plan for growth differently.

The meeting will be held at 6pm at Counterpoint’s Factory Community Centre, 67 Raglan St Waterloo and will also be available on Zoom via http://tinyurl.com/RedwatchMeetingZoom .

Given the NIMBY accusations being flung in this debate you also want to have a look at the NIMBY Discussion Points that REDWatch put together in 2013 when we unpacked “NIMBYism, the good the bad and the ugly”.
