Chris Minns ‘ruining the potential’ of future housing in Western Sydney

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns is “ruining the potential” of future housing in Western Sydney, says Fairfield City Mayor Frank Carbone. “I can’t support a broad-brush approach which is basically going to change the fabric of what we see now as a family home,” Mr Carbone told Sky News Australia. “What he’s proposing is every single house in New South Wales, where at the moment you’ve got a 12-metre frontage – that frontage becomes six metres – where are people going to park their cars? “You're basically building small units on the blocks of land, one garage is going to be used for storage." The Fairfield City Mayor said he “isn’t against housing” but Sydney needs the “right planning framework”. “What he’s doing right now is actually ruining the potential for future housing in these areas by taking a decision in the R2 zones.”
