The State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 (AHSEPP) is designed to increase the amount and diversity of affordable housing in NSW by better encouraging home owners, social housing providers and developers to invest and create new affordable rental housing to meet the needs of the growing population and existing residents.
The AHSEPP provides Housing NSW with the assessment and determination role for developments of 20 units or less and for no more than 8.5 metres in height, demolitions of houses that are not complying development or heritage listed, and for subdivision of land.
Housing NSW is required to give 21 days notice to council, any relevant planning authorities and to adjoining neighbours and consider any submissions that are received within the notification period for all projects assessed and determined under AHSEPP.
Projects which are currently on notification are available by clicking on the alphabet letter of the suburb you wish to view below.
