This bill builds on the National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS-UD) and brings forward its implementation, recognising the real need for urban renewal and densification in our cities to crack through and respond to the housing crisis. It was a very impressive list of initiatives that the Government has taken over the last four years to tackle the housing crisis. But we still have far too many people, as the Hon Scott Simpson noted, sleeping in motels, sleeping in cars, sleeping in places that they can't afford because the rent takes far too big a portion of their weekly income. This bill is about providing as a permitted activity the building of three dwellings of up to three storeys across most of the residential areas in our largest cities, enabling housing to happen as a permitted activity and encouraging more duplexes, walk-up units, terrace houses with common walls, and the like.
