Local Government NSW has acknowledged the deliberations of the first meeting of the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) and is urging the State Government to now work with councils in the next phase of assessment.

Of the 28, 11 have been declared State-significant projects, meaning they will further bypass the need for councils to assess them, but will still be subject to further assessment from the Planning Department.
