NSW's Biggest Planning Flop Is in Chris Minns' Own Backyard

Georges River Council: The Development Disaster Killing NSW’s Housing Goals

In a state grappling with a housing crisis, Georges River Council – nestled in Premier Chris Minns’ own electorate of Kogarah – has earned the shameful title of NSW’s slowest council for approving developments. According to the NSW Government's league table, a measly 4% of residential development applications were approved on time in the first 10 months of the 2024–25 financial year.

Yes, just five approvals met the 115-day target – the same benchmark Minns’ own government set.

The Political Hypocrisy Stalling New Homes

It's a scandal in plain sight. The Premier champions new housing and fast-tracked approvals statewide, yet the council under his watch is choking the pipeline. With demand skyrocketing and supply stagnating, this isn’t just poor governance – it’s economic sabotage.
