Lapsed private member's bill on "affordable housing" definition; did not become law.

minor

This private members' bill, sponsored by Jenny Leong, sought to amend the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 to change the definition of "affordable housing" so its benefit is retained in perpetuity, along with other affordable housing amendments. It lapsed and did not become law, so it has no legal effect. Any future version could be reintroduced and amended.

For planners: No action required — the definition of "affordable housing" in the Act is unchanged because the bill lapsed. Worth noting only as an indication of policy interest in how affordable housing is defined and how its benefit is preserved over time, should a similar measure return.

Long title (legal purpose)

An Act to amend the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 to amend a definition of “affordable housing” to ensure the benefit of affordable housing is retained in perpetuity; to make other amendments about affordable housing; and for related purposes.
