Campbelltown Council’s housing target
New completed homes by 2029
The NSW Government has committed to building 377,000 new homes across the state in the next 5 years to align with the National Housing Accord. Councils in Greater Sydney, Illawarra-Shoalhaven, Central Coast, Lower Hunter and Greater Newcastle have a target and one shared across regional NSW. Housing targets are critical to address the housing crisis to meet the future needs of our community so they have access to a great place to live. The targets help us address the housing shortage and prioritise more diverse and well-located homes in areas with existing infrastructure capacity – such as transport, open spaces, schools, hospitals and community facilities.
The following data is the latest available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics:

Providing essential infrastructure to align with more homes
These targets consider existing infrastructure and housing activity already underway.
The NSW Government is committed to providing infrastructure like hospitals, schools, roads, active transport and open spaces to support the delivery of more well-located, well-designed, and well-built homes.
