Warringah's Housing Future

Council is embarking on a consultation process to develop a Housing Strategy for Warringah. The aim of the strategy is to show how Warringah will meet the State Government’s target of 10,300 new dwellings by 2031, but there is more to it than meeting a State Government housing target.

Draft Warringah Housing Strategy

Warringah Council released its draft Warringah Housing Strategy which directly reflects the community's wishes, expressed during the 2010 Talk of the Town (TOTT) summit.

The draft Warringah Housing Strategy recommended that sections of Narraweena be rezoned to permit medium density housing allowing for an extra 3,675 dwellings over the next 20 years. Another 5,325 dwellings will be located within areas throughout Warringah already zoned to accommodate them.

An explanatory letter, outlining the proposed changes, was sent to all affected residents plus anyone who has previously notified Council that they wish to be sent updates on the housing strategy.

Public Information Sessions were planned to be held in Narraweena in July 2011. The draft Housing Strategy will be placed on public exhibition in early July, after which the public can make formal submissions.

Anyone with questions or comments can call Warringah Council's Housing Hotline on 9942 2000.

Talk of the Town Community Summit

Nearly 500 Warringah residents and ratepayers gave up their Sunday on 23 May to attend Warringah Council's Talk of the Town Community Summit.

The summit was an historic event to consider the future of housing in Warringah. The State Government has told Warringah to plan for more than 10,000 extra dwellings by 2031 and an additional 25,000 residents.

"The turn out was extraordinary. We are thrilled so many residents, from different areas, ages and backgrounds want to be involved in the future of housing in Warringah," said Warringah Mayor Michael Regan.
