Sites in Woolgoolga and Inverell are slated for six and eleven houses respectively.
Other sites include a 6,235sqm lot in Blue Mountains suburb Mount Victoria that can accommodate 12 homes and a vacant corner lot on Derby St in Penrith, slated for seven houses.
In a bid to entice developers and speed up construction, the government has confirmed that the sites at Penrith and Edmondson Park are suited to the “housing pattern book”.
This mechanism offers pre-approved architect designs with a reduced 10-day planning approval pathway.
The hope is that this will make these smaller government sites more attractive to the private sector investors.
