The Property Council of Australia (NSW) raises concern with the Planning Proposal Large R2 lots interfacing with Illawarra Escarpment – Multiple lots (PP-2023/3). We understand that Wollongong City Council (Council) is currently reviewing this Planning Proposal, prior to it being referred to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.
We are concerned that there is no attempt within this Planning Proposal to counter the loss of housing development yield (471 lots) elsewhere in the Wollongong City Local Government Area (LGA). The assessment of the Planning Proposal weighs heavily on potential environmental benefits over the loss of opportunity for housing growth, which is poorly covered in the report.
