Sutherland Shire, NSW Balancing Act Housing Simulation

Complete

Residents were asked for their suggestions on how to add 1,000 dwellings to the shire by 2041. The tool allows a user to create their own housing plan with modifications down to the parcel level. Housing Simulation uses real-world zoning and land use constraints for realistic insights. Sutherland Shire Council received 286 plans from residents in its initial engagement effort with plans for additional rounds of Housing Simulation use.
