Housing Choice
Promoting Choice: A Local Housing Strategy for Wyong Shire identifies how the Council can support and encourage developers and others to provide housing for the community.
The approach is centred on Council developing policies and a statutory framework that provides for housing choice and diversity, for example, the Local Environment Plan. It will also ensure Council continues to play a leadership and advocacy role to promote awareness of housing issues in the Shire and is a potential partner in joint venture projects.
The intention of the strategy is the principles of housing choice and affordability be included in Council’s overall Shire Planning and become a main consideration in planning residential development across the Local Government Area to better reflect the current and future demographic profile.
