NSW Government Accused of Breaking Affordable Housing Promise

The NSW government is under fire for selling a prime site on Parramatta Road, Camperdown, to private developers without any requirement for social or affordable housing. This decision has led to widespread accusations that the Minns government is reneging on its election promise to tackle the housing crisis.

‍

A Broken Promise?

Premier Chris Minns campaigned on addressing the housing affordability crisis, promising to prioritise affordable housing. However, the recent sale of the Camperdown site, with no stipulation for affordable housing, has raised concerns about the government's sincerity. Last month, the Minns government announced plans to build up to 30,000 new homes, but this latest move casts doubt on whether affordability is truly a priority.

‍

Just Empty Talk?

The lack of affordable housing requirements in such a significant development has critics accusing the government of serving private interests over public needs. By allowing this sale, many feel the government is going back on its word. The promises of 30,000 new homes seem increasingly hollow if there is no guarantee that they will be affordable for those in need.

‍

Public Deception?

This decision has left residents and housing advocates questioning whether the Minns government can be trusted. The sale suggests that development profits may be taking precedence over helping people find affordable homes. The lack of transparency in the decision has only fuelled public frustration and concern.

A Call for Action

The government now faces mounting pressure to honour its commitments. Without real action to ensure future developments include affordable housing, public trust may erode further. The housing crisis demands more than just rhetoric—NSW residents need transparency, action, and real solutions to make housing affordable for all.
