Mosman Council’s master plan would have capacity to deliver about 4700 homes. “The Minns government has created an adversarial planning system where councils are effectively told to accept a rigid planning template or resist the state government.” Under the policy, housing targets would remain the same but councils would be allowed to create their own master plans if they could demonstrate they would deliver the same number of homes as the LMR. These challenges are compounded as councils attempt to meet housing targets without control of the budgets or delivery of state infrastructure such as roads, schools, hospitals and transport. “Density done badly is congestion without connection, apartments without amenity and growth without belonging,” Burwood Mayor John Faker said.
