NSW plans 12,000 homes on Long Bay Correctional Facility site
What happened
The NSW Liberals and Nationals government has announced plans to deliver more than 12,000 homes 14 km south of Sydney’s CBD by repurposing the Long Bay Correctional Facility. Chris Rath stated that the site is a suitable location for housing rather than a prison. If elected, the opposition government plans to establish a Long Bay Delivery Authority to partner with the private sector on the master planning and infrastructure.
Why it matters
The initiative represents a major urban renewal project aimed at bolstering housing supply in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The plan involves coordinating the relocation of correctional facilities and includes 30 per cent social and affordable housing.
