State Planning Policy 1/07: Housing and Residential Development

The State Planning Policy (SPP) 1/07 (PDF, 1.4 MB) aims to ensure that larger, higher growth local governments identify their community's housing needs and analyse their planning schemes, modifying them if necessary, to remove barriers and provide opportunities for housing options that respond to these identified needs.

While the State Planning Policy 1/07 applies specifically to local governments with a population of 10,000 or more, within at least one urbanised area, and an average annual dwelling approval rate of 100 dwellings or more, other local governments can choose to achieve the Policy's outcome.
