Lane Cove Church Redevelopment Approved, highlighting Potential for Housing on faith-Owned Land
A important redevelopment project at a church in Lane Cove has received approval, underscoring the potential for utilizing faith-owned properties to address housing needs. this decision follows advocacy from Faith Housing Australia, an organization promoting the development of housing on land owned by religious groups. The group has identified numerous faith-owned sites across New South Wales that could accommodate a considerable number of new homes if current zoning regulations were adjusted.
Faith Housing Australia has pinpointed 747 faith-owned locations within an 800-meter radius of railway stations throughout NSW. Their analysis suggests that these sites could yield as many as 20,000 new residences, contingent upon a relaxation of the existing SP2 zoning classifications designated for places of public worship.
