SUMMER ARRIVALS

MyHome Planner tools for knockdown rebuilds. I t is now easier for Coasties considering knockdown rebuilds to plan, build, and move in, with comprehensive information on the process added to the popular myHome Planner tool. Critical information from 48 government sites on the knockdown rebuild process has been pulled into the online tool to guide users’ step by step. “MYHome Planner is an easy-to-use digital platform that takes away the guesswork when doing a new build, providing reliable information on key steps, obligations, and approvals, in a single location. Building a new home can be exciting and equally complex, which can lead to information overload. We need more homes built and expanding this digital resource to include information on knockdown rebuilds makes it that little bit easier. Current or prospective homeowners can enter the property address and gain access to relevant council information, zoning, ratings, easement information, developer guidelines such as building heights and minimum block size, and relevant planning controls such as bushfire and flood risk. The NSW Government is seeking to reach the National Housing Accord target of 377,000 well located new homes over the coming five years, following reforms to low and mid-rise housing, which commenced on July 1 this year. These changes allow development applications for dual occupancies and semi-detached dwellings to be submitted in more R2 residential zones, such as duplexes and semis. Enabling dual occupancies in these locations allows homeowners with suitable blocks to replace one existing home with two dwellings. Other low and mid-rise housing reforms will include townhouses, terraces and two storey apartment blocks near transport hubs and town centres in R2 low density residential zones across Greater Sydney, the Hunter, Central Coast and Illawarra regions and mid-rise apartment blocks near transport hubs and town centres in R3 medium density and R4 high density residential zones across these regions. The MyHome Planner was developed in collaboration with the Department of Customer Service and is available at the NSW Planning Portal which receives more than 12 million page views annually. www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/myhome-planner
