Thank you Minister, the Inner West cares deeply about ensuring we have a thriving, vibrant and more affordable community. The Labor Councillors are proud to do our part to create more homes for people. #MoreHomesMoreHeart 🏡❤️
There's been a lot of coverage about Labor's 5% Deposits Scheme being uncapped yesterday. And rightfully so. It's good news for first home buyers as it will help people save for a deposit quicker, slashing the time it takes to buy a home. But equally as deserving of

I hosted a mobile office in Leichhardt today - happy to discuss anything including our Fairer Future housing plan - and the Greens showed up to hand out anti-housing flyers. Ok guys!

Open the schools (and the pubs)
2009: City of Sydney shuts down the Hopetoun Hotel as a live music venue due noise complaints. 2025: City of Sydney Deputy Mayor criticises the Hopetoun for being empty, suggests they lease space to creatives or get hit by a vacancy tax.

Sounds a bit like Vote Greens Get Liberals to me
#BREAKING The Greens have confirmed they will not support Labor’s anticipated no-confidence motion tomorrow, citing Labor under Dean Winter not compromising his party’s position on key issues the Greens advocated for during the election @7tasnews #politas

Meanwhile, the plan that she’s opposing - for 31,000 new homes in the inner west - is endorsed by the Faith Housing Alliance, NCOSS, the Nurses and Midwives Association, Shelter NSW and Sydney Alliance, among others. An absolutely staggering choice on her behalf.

The Member for Balmain is so against more housing that she used the resources of her office to print unauthorised flyers opposing it.

Great campaign by @SydneyYIMBY
Momentum is building to finish Woollahra station and build thousands of homes around it. It's on the front page of the SMH today! We've threaded our comments from the article below.

Housing for our community is unambiguously good. Here’s my take on the increased density and mix of housing at the former WestConnex dive site at Annandale in my Council Ward.

They had to do it in the most torturous way possible. But they did it.

When all this is done and everyone has all the housing they need, my next campaign is going to be that everyone’s headlights are too bright these days.

Thank you Peter and to the @NSWFabians for having me to make the case. A better and more abundant housing future is possible.
The most persuasive speech on housing policy by an Australian local councillor that I am aware of. "The Left Case for YIMBY" By Councillor Philippa Scott @CrPhilippaScott of the Inner West. https://t.co/bTS9q66oMY

"impact local infrastructure" - this is just wrong. My kids' school is losing 5% of its students every year, you're in denial.

Hanging in there against rezoning at this stage means you are either the last of the economic illiterates, or genuinely don’t want to share our community.

Being anti-density in 2025 is quite a choice.

In case anyone was wondering if the NSW Greens are yet in favour of housing, the answer is a resounding no. ���Won’t do anything for the housing crisis” is a pretty wild claim for a plan for 35,000 new homes including 1,000 units of public housing in Council land.
