flag Lake Macquarie Council offers 100% fee discounts for affordable urban housing, saving up to $6,000 per unit.

flag Lake Macquarie City Council has introduced a two-year 100% fee discount for developers building affordable housing in infill areas, saving about $6,000 per two-bedroom apartment and $5,000 per secondary dwelling, as part of a strategy to increase housing supply. flag The policy, unanimously approved by councillors, is expected to cost the council $790,000 annually and follows recommendations from the April Housing Forum. flag It does not apply to greenfield developments. flag A separate, unchanged 2008 flooding and sea level rise policy was advanced, drawing criticism for being outdated despite projections that over 12,000 properties could be at risk. flag Some councillors warned of long-term financial and environmental risks, calling for a comprehensive review.
