Lou Housego is a registered nurse who works on the north shore. But the 67-year-old may be forced out of Sydney.
Independent MPs and unions have formed an unlikely alliance to demand the Minns government deliver affordable housing for nurses, teachers and paramedics as part of its sweeping changes to planning laws.
“We note the government is working to increase housing supply across the state, but we are concerned that there are no clear strategies to ensure increased supply delivers new essential worker housing,” the letter, co-signed on Friday, says. Affordable accommodation would be a lifeline for registered nurse Lou Housego, who has been staying with friends in the inner west since moving back to Sydney from Tamworth in November.
“As the government continues to be rightly focused on increasing housing supply, we need to make sure that we bake into the planning process the delivery essential worker housing in a targeted way across the state,” Greenwich said. “It’s also a burning economic priority, both for productivity and the retention of key workers,” Morey said. “This inquiry is a golden opportunity to examine the measures NSW could quickly implement to improve our desperate housing situation.”“Until recently this level of government showed very little interest in addressing the housing policy bonfire of skewed tax incentives and development bias, which locks young people, working families and renters out of the property market,” Morey said.
