This interactive map displays sites considered by the NSW Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) for potential housing delivery across New South Wales. It has been developed to provide planners, councils, researchers, and the wider community with a clear spatial overview of where the HDA has reviewed residential proposals. By mapping these sites, users can explore the geographic distribution of housing activity aligned with the state’s housing policy objectives. All data is drawn from publicly available information and reflects proposals reviewed through the HDA assessment process to date.
What Is the Housing Delivery Authority?
The NSW Housing Delivery Authority is a dedicated state body responsible for accelerating housing delivery in well-located areas across NSW. It works with local councils, state agencies, and communities to coordinate infrastructure and planning to unlock housing supply, deliver diverse, affordable, and sustainable residential outcomes, and identify and enable key precincts for renewal or infill development. One of the HDA’s key functions is to assess whether residential proposals should be progressed under a streamlined state-led pathway.
What This Map Shows
The map displays residential proposals that have been formally considered by the HDA. Each marker represents a site and includes basic information such as full address, number of proposed dwellings, type of residential accommodation, date of HDA review, HDA recommendation, and the final decision by the Minister (where applicable). This data is presented geographically to help users understand where housing delivery efforts are focused and how these sites are distributed across metropolitan, regional, and rural areas of NSW.
How to Use This Map
To explore the map, zoom in to areas of interest across NSW to see localised housing proposals. Click on any site marker to view full address details, proposed dwelling count, accommodation type, and HDA assessment status. The map does not support filtering or search functions, but spatial navigation allows easy comparison between regions. This tool is intended to be a visual reference, not a live tracker of planning applications. It offers spatial context for understanding the HDA’s role in facilitating new housing across the state.
Who This Map Is For
The map is designed to support council planners in identifying if nearby sites have been reviewed under the HDA process, strategic planning teams in assessing alignment between local housing strategies and state-led pathways, developers and consultants seeking insight into how and where the HDA has engaged with projects, researchers and academics investigating housing trends and policy implementation across regions, and community groups interested in better understanding the role of the state in shaping local development.
About the Data
All information is derived from public planning sources and reflects HDA site assessments as published by the NSW Government. The dataset will be updated periodically as further proposals are reviewed or progressed. This map is for informational and planning support purposes only. It does not replace formal planning registers or development approval systems.
