myHome Planner Tool: Makes Knock Down Rebuilds Easier
As a real estate agent serving the vibrant communities of Fairfield and Liverpool, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news that could revolutionize the way our local residents approach home building and renovation. The NSW Government has just unveiled new features for their myHome Planner online tool, making it easier than ever for homeowners in our area to plan and execute knock down rebuild projects.
What’s New for Fairfield and Liverpool Residents?
The myHome Planner tool, available at www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/myhome-planner, now offers comprehensive support for infill housing projects. This means if you’re considering knocking down your existing home in Fairfield or Liverpool to rebuild a modern, more suitable dwelling, this tool is your new best friend.
Here’s what the upgraded myHome Planner offers:
- Detailed guides for infill housing (knock down rebuilds)
- Information on home and land packages
- Step-by-step checklists for the building process
- Estimates on potential costs and required approvals
How Does This Benefit Fairfield and Liverpool Homeowners?
For our local community, this tool is a game-changer. By entering your property address, you’ll gain access to:
- Relevant Fairfield or Liverpool council information
- Specific zoning details for your area
- Ratings and easement information
- Local developer guidelines (building heights, minimum block sizes)
- Crucial planning controls (bushfire and flood risk assessments)
This wealth of information at your fingertips means you can make more informed decisions about your property investments right here in Fairfield and Liverpool.
NSW Housing Targets and Local Impact
The NSW Government has set an ambitious target of 377,000 new homes over the next five years. This goal directly impacts our local areas of Fairfield and Liverpool, which are prime locations for urban growth and development.
Recent changes to planning regulations now allow for more dual occupancies and semi-detached dwellings in R2 residential zones. This is particularly exciting for Fairfield and Liverpool homeowners with suitable blocks, as it opens up opportunities to replace one existing home with two dwellings, potentially increasing property value and rental income.
Looking Ahead: 2024 Housing Reforms
For those considering long-term property investments in Fairfield and Liverpool, it’s worth noting that further housing reforms are set to commence in 2024. These will include provisions for:
- Townhouses
- Terraces
- Two-storey apartment blocks near transport hubs and town centers
These upcoming changes could significantly impact property values and development opportunities in our area, so it’s something to keep an eye on if you’re planning future investments.
Why This Matters for Fairfield and Liverpool
As your local real estate agent, I can’t stress enough how valuable this tool is for our community. Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Jihad Dib, summed it up perfectly:
“This is an easy-to-use digital platform that takes away some of the guesswork when doing a new build, providing reliable information on things like key steps, obligations, and approvals, in a single place.”
For Fairfield and Liverpool residents, this means less stress, more clarity, and better-informed decisions when it comes to building or renovating your home.
