The Bays West Precinct is an 80 hectare harbourside staged urban renewal area located in Rozelle. JSA provided advice to Placemaking NSW regarding the quantum, nature, mix, location and delivery options for the provision of affordable housing across the stages of the redevelopment precinct, to the extent that information was available.
JSA considered the need for affordable (including social and diverse) housing within the relevant catchment and the mix of affordable housing required to meet the needs identified across the affordable housing continuum of social housing, time limited and in perpetuity affordable rental housing (including discount market rent and key worker rental housing), shared equity purchase and private market products that were lower cost by virtue of their size, amenity or construction methods.
JSA also explored the potential for, and relative benefit of, on-site versus off-site delivery in terms of social mix, economic efficiency and relative yield whilst taking into account the relationship of the precinct to key employment centres, transport nodes and the availability of suitable public land elsewhere. JSA also identified and modelled opportunities available under SEPP (Housing) 2021 including FSR and height bonuses, and other compatible forms of delivery such as boarding houses, co-living housing and seniors housing.
