We believe North Sydney Council should be actively supporting developments of existing housing stock that includes additional sleeping accommodation on existing housing stock.
Our state government mandated NSC must deliver accommodation for an extra 15,000 residents over the coming years. Unless we want further destruction of the municipality via the construction of ill advised, overheight, jerrybuilt, ugly high rise apartment blocks (like the NEW Crows Nest), then we must encourage development of existing house, like this application + granny flats over rear lane access garages and the like. Spreading the increase in the mandated population increase across the whole of the municipality decreases the cost of infrastructure required to support these addtions to our community.
