In 2021 Ethos Urban was engaged by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) to undertake a review of and advise on seniors housing planning policy.
The aim of the review was to reform and modernise seniors housing planning policy in NSW by simplifying planning pathways (inclusive of an SSD pathway) and providing planning incentives for increasing the supply of seniors housing in urban locations.
The advice provided by Ethos Urban has formed the basis of the seniors housing provisions of the Housing SEPP and new SSD pathway, which is the most significant reform to seniors housing policy in NSW in 40 years. Having been the trusted advisors of DPHI, Ethos Urban is uniquely placed to interpret and apply the new Housing SEPP. This deep knowledge coupled with our credibility with government is critical in our ability to navigate projects through the complexity of the NSW planning system.
