Woollahra’s newest NIMBY idea: Don’t count parks or schools as land | michaelkoziol
Two Woollahra councillors have proposed a novel way to reduce the number of new homes they are required to build: stop counting the area’s schools, parks and golf course as land.
They argue that if parks, schools, infrastructure and other public spaces are excluded from what counts as Woollahra’s land mass, the local government area’s “real” population density increases from 4851 people per square kilometre to 6567. “We’ve already submitted several letters to the state government pushing back on our housing targets and the response is ‘no’,” she said.
