Additionally, this bill also makes changes to the NPSUD to clarify some intensification requirements and to reduce the workload of councils. The NPSUD is very directive about the need for a minimum of six storeys in areas walkable from rapid transit and city metropolitan centres. These are often the areas where housing density has the most benefit and we get the most value out of infrastructure investment. What is trickier for councils, and what we heard in feedback from councils, is the requirement to assess demand and accessibility across all of their urban areas and then up-zone accordingly. No one has policy 3D, and in the bill this would provide odd results, such as enabling six storeys in high demand but relatively inaccessible areas. So to make it easier for council, the bill removes the demand assessment criteria.
