My Government has introduced landmark reform to the planning system in New South Wales to deliver more homes through a modern, fairer, faster planning system for the State.
Sydney is the second least affordable city in the world.
Families, young people and downsizers are all negatively impacted by the mazes of planning regulations, committees, local councils and State government agencies that need to be worked through.
We have had a staggering 40,000 young people leave Sydney, but we want this generation of young Australians writing the next chapter in New South Wales' history.
We are working to fix this broken system.
As a result of the reforms my Government that have been incrementally introduced, we are starting to see a turnaround in applications and completions in housing in the State.

- Planning approvals are 15 per cent faster
- Number of applications lodged is 30 per cent higher than last year
- 49,504 new homes have been approved in the past 12 months, 15 per cent higher than last year.
My Government will reward people who build to the code to give certainty, attract capital and, most importantly, build homes for the next generation of young Australians.
