The Lord Mayor speaks in favour of his reduction of 75% of the infrastructure charges on already-aproved developments in high density areas, as well as a 100% reduction (an elimination) of infrastructure charges for community housing providers. 50% reduction in high density areas for future approvals.
He claims the building process being too expensive is the reason not enough housing is being built, and that this move will increase the supply of housing.
Infrastructure charges are a major part of how BCC receives the funding it needs to build and maintain roads, parks, libraries, and all the other things it does to keep the city functioning.
Cr Allan criticises Labor and the Greens. Says that Cr Cassidy (Labor) has called for fining developers who receive approvals but refuse to build until prices get lower.
