Big business, unions and university bosses have joined forces to call for radical new solutions to the housing affordability crisis, including a “pattern book” approach to planning that would pre-approve certain designs for use throughout Sydney.
The new alliance Housing Now says Sydney needs to build 30 more areas equivalent in size to Surry Hills in the next five years to meet its housing targets.“We’ve built one house for every five people we’ve added to our state,” Borger said. “To solve this housing crisis Sydney needs to build the equivalent of 30 Surry Hills suburbs [in] the next five years.”
With its large cohort of casual retail and fast food workers, the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association, or Shoppies union, is also at the pointy end of the housing crisis. “It’s very difficult to get a nice place,” Chin-Potter says. She believes that building more homes will help. “Time is of the essence. People are desperate now, [they] need solutions quickly.”
