Build-to-Rent is a type of development not often seen in Australia. So it was with great interest that we at Shelter NSW, learned of the <\/strong>NSW Government announcement<\/strong><\/a> in late July 2020 to encourage large-scale, rental housing supply by offering land tax discounts. But as we said at the time \u2013 we need assurances that the resulting rental housing will be affordable and tenancies actually secure before we can give this our tick of cautious approval. This hesitation was shared by many in the NSW Parliament in early August. Fortunately, important amendments have been made to the Government draft legislation \u2013 requiring that any build-to-rent model promote social and affordable housing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
