The first of the State Government's "cookie cutter" Housing Codes comes into force next week on the 27th February. It applies to single dwellings, one and two storey both new and alterations and additions. The Parliamentary Library has produced an E-Brief in plain English. The Urban Taskforce (aka the development industry) love it, others including the Local Government Association do not. Fortunately, certain zonings are exempt - as a large part of Willoughby LGA is currently zoned Scenic Protection/Environmentally sensitive (2a2) or within a Conservation Area, we have some protection from the excesses of this one. It is but the first in a raft of new planning provisions we have to cope with this year...
