Landcom's proposal to rezone 265 hectares of Lake Macquarie bushland for a new community with up to 600 houses, including 8-10% affordable housing, faces public comment.

Landcom's proposal to rezone 265 hectares of Lake Macquarie bushland for a new community with up to 600 houses has resurfaced, including 8-10% affordable housing. The project, which could address the housing supply shortage in the Hunter region, is now open for public comment with Lake Macquarie City Council. The land has faced delays due to biodiversity, flooding, and geotechnical concerns, but Landcom aims to preserve 70% of the site as bushland in perpetuity.
