Unfortunately, almost everything in this report is wrong. 3 storey units might be OK, but attached houses are cheaper to build. 6 storey units are expensive to build and the construction cost alone is probably unaffordable. If we’re serious about affordability, then we need to build social housing.

Interestingly, permissibility of the housing types is tied to permissibility in the underlying LEP. This presents a significant issue given that most councils extinguished permissibility of ‘Multi Dwelling Housing’ in R2 areas with the introduction of the NSW Low Rise Housing Diversity Code in 2018!

Nations like Canada, NZ, Finland show how universal, adaptable, participatory human rights laws avoid targeting specific groups by embedding equality into their legal DNA
Australia to adopt best practice needs a national human rights charter informed by public dialogue that protects all citizens

Worth looking into getting an exemption for PI Insurance. It means you don't have to pay for insurance if you're not practicing and it's much easier to go back to practice if you change your mind. That's what I've done. Drop me a line if you'd like me to fill you in.
