Faith Based Housing

Council is committed to increasing our collaboration with faith-based organisations and community housing providers in our local community to assist in the development application (DA) process.

This collaboration aims to provide more certainty and confidence in the planning system, assisting crucial community housing projects to be delivered within the Inner West as quickly and easily as possible.

As part of this collaborative approach, Council staff are currently offering the following services to faith-based organisations and community housing providers that are looking to undertake housing projects in the Inner West: 

  • General planning pathway advice
  • Proposal-specific planning advice
  • Pre-Development Application advice
  • Pre-lodgement documentation review
  • Assistance throughout the DA process
