Attend the Forum to hear what the Minns Government is not talking about and why on Wed 7th August at the NSW Parliament Theatrette 6.30pm
What the Minns Government is not talking about and why
Sydneysiders and its communities call this city “home”. So, big changes planned for Sydney are important to us.
Housing unaffordability now impacts everyone: from young adults, to our essential workers, to grandparents and grandkids separated by property prices.
Sydneysiders want this problem tackled and they know the solutions needed will bring change.
Because of our deep connection to this city – proposals like transport-orientated developments (TODs) and low-to-mid rise changes require a conversation that listens, is consultative and sophisticated.
But instead, so far – the government has driven a discussion that is narrow and divisive. One that seems to ignore many key factors.
What are the important things the government should be talking about and why?
Find out what our panel of experts has to say.
