What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The NSW Land and Environment Court approved multiple projects in Deniliquin and Blacktown on October 25, 2026. Among the approvals was a 20-storey office tower in Blacktown by developer Bathla, which had been initially refused by local councils. The court's decisions highlight mounting tensions between the state's push to increase housing supply and local planning controls.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The approvals reflect the state's push to increase housing supply, as the court has approved hundreds of developments after initial council refusals. This trend suggests a reduction in planning risk for large-scale projects, which could influence investment in commercial and residential construction.
