Answer -

I am advised:
- The Government is currently considering how to implement the Affordable
Housing Taskforce's Interim Report.
The recommendations included an action
to develop local housing strategies with councils to enable a diversity of
housing in the right locations. A Plan for Growing Sydney will require each
council, to prepare a local housing strategy that considers local affordable
housing needs and strategies to provide affordable housing that responds to
local demand. In addition, the Department is currently undertaking a review
of all State Environmental Planning Policies including State Environmental
Planning Policy (Affordable Rertal Housing) 2009.
