STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICY NO 5--HOUSING FOR OLDER PEOPLE OR PEOPLE WITH A DISABILITY - REG 3

3 Aims

(1) This Policy aims to encourage the provision of housing that will:

(a) increase the supply and diversity of housing that meets the needs of older people or people with a disability, and

(b) make efficient use of existing infrastructure and services, and

(c) be of good design.

(2) These aims will be achieved by:

(a) setting aside local planning controls that would prevent the development of housing for older people or people with a disability that meets the development standards specified in this Policy, and

(b) ensuring that applicants and councils take into consideration the level of additional demand for support services for older people or people with a disability in the council's area to be generated by the development when preparing and assessing development applications that are affected by this Policy, and

(c) setting out design principles that should be followed to achieve built form that responds to the characteristics of its site and location.
