'Isn't just a Newcastle issue': funding push for Broadmeadow
Funding for Broadmeadow infrastructure and early works is a key budget wish for the Property Council of Australia.
The Broadmeadow precinct plan was in the spotlight at the Property Council's NSW housing summit in Sydney on June 12.
The 'Broadmeadow Place Strategy' envisages the revitalisation of a 313-hectare precinct, with up to 20,000 new homes and 15,000 jobs.
Property Council Hunter and Central Coast regional director Nuatali Nelmes said the 'delivering Broadmeadow' session highlighted the scale of the opportunity.
"The message is clear: Broadmeadow can deliver thousands of homes and jobs," Ms Nelmes said. "It's one of Australia's most significant urban renewal opportunities and we want to work with government to build momentum and move from vision to delivery."
In its submission to the NSW Budget, the Property Council called for finalisation of the Broadmeadow Place Strategy and rezoning, as well as funding for enabling infrastructure, land preparation and early works to unlock housing and employment outcomes.
"We need a dedicated delivery pathway - co-ordination between government agencies with a mandate for delivery will be crucial to keep Broadmeadow on track," Ms Nelmes said.
"This isn't just a Newcastle issue. Broadmeadow's success will show how regional precincts can lead the way on inclusive growth and housing reform.
"The land is well-located, the vision is there, and the community is engaged. Now it comes down to how industry and government can work together to bring leadership and investment."
City of Newcastle's executive director of planning and environment Michelle Bisson said the Broadmeadow Precinct project would significantly contribute to the housing crisis while also stimulating economic growth.
"Developing Broadmeadow is a value-for-money solution that comes at half the cost of other key residential developments on the NSW government's radar," she said.
"However, it requires a collaborative approach between government agencies and delivery partners to fund and deliver the community infrastructure needed to support the future development.
"Newcastle is ready to be part of the housing solution. We have the vision, the capacity, and the community support to deliver housing our state urgently needs. Broadmeadow shows that regional centres can be part of the solution."
