Public Exhibition of Regional Affordable Housing Contributions Scheme

Closes: Apr 7, 2025, 5:00 PM

Wollondilly Shire Council is inviting feedback about the Draft Western Sydney Regional Affordable Rental Housing Contributions Scheme.

This regional scheme will levy monetary contributions as a condition of consent for certain development approvals, to help provide affordable rental housing for low and moderate income households in Western Sydney including Wollondilly Shire. It also includes a Distribution Plan outlining how the scheme will be managed long term by the not-for-profit community housing sector.   

The proposed scheme was developed by the Western Sydney Planning Partnership working with the councils of Wollondilly, Camden, Blacktown, Hawkesbury, and Blue Mountains and with support from the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPH&I). 

The Scheme will start in 2028 and is expected to deliver about 3600 new affordable rental homes in the region over 10 years.
