Submission – Ku-ring-gai Council’s preferred alternative scenario to the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Program

Home Campaigns and Submissions Submission – Ku-ring-gai Council’s preferred alternative scenario to the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) Program

The Property Council acknowledges Council’s work to date on the TOD Program and notes that Gordon, Lindfield, Killara and Roseville stations have also been identified as Low and Mid-Rise Housing areas. However, we are concerned that the preferred alternative scenario will result inless housing than the area is capable of delivering, especially with short commute times to employment centres at Chatswood and Macquarie Park. NSW has a short window of time to deliver
377,000 new homes as part of the National Housing Accord, and the TOD Program is one of the key levers that can assist in making progress against this target. The need for well-located homes in these areas is also emphasised in Council’s draft Affordable Housing Policy, which notes that:

  • 23 per cent of Ku-ring-gai’s renters are in housing stress,
  • 71.6 per cent of Ku-ring-gai’s essential workers are living outside the Ku-ring-gai local
    government area (LGA), and
  • 3,694 young people (aged 18-24 years) left Ku-ring-gai between 2016 to 2021.
