New Housing Delivery Authority

The Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) has launched, offering a new SSD pathway for major residential developments and rezonings.

Starting January 8, 2025, applicants can submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) for projects valued over $60M in Greater Sydney and $30M in regional NSW.

The EOI criteria is based around the following objectives:
1. Identify high-yield housing proposals by focusing on known high-yield types of residential accommodation.
2. Identify housing projects that can be assessed and constructed quickly by focusing on more compliant, major residential proposals that can commence construction quickly.
3. Drive quality and affordable housing by focusing on housing development proposals that are well-located, have enabling infrastructure and contribute to affordable housing supply.
4. Compliment the State Significant Rezoning Policy by providing a potential pathway for major residential proposals that are seeking concurrent rezoning (spot rezoning).

The EOI process will be open throughout the Housing Accord period to June 2029 and EOIs will be reviewed monthly, meaning there will be multiple opportunities to submit proposals for major residential developments to the HDA each year. The HDA will sit within the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
