Mosman Park Eases Planning Rules to Boost Housing Supply
What happened
The Town of Mosman Park is considering a new local planning policy that would exempt certain minor building works from requiring full planning approval. This policy aims to streamline the process and supply more housing. The exemption applies to single houses and up to two grouped dwellings on the same lot, provided they meet residential design codes, and also covers minor non-residential works like signage and solar panels, provided they do not alter building height or setbacks.
