The New South Wales government has announced a plan to accommodate an additional 1.3 million people in Sydney by 2046. According to the blueprint, approximately half of the required 800,000 new homes will be constructed in the eastern suburbs, while less than 25% will be situated in the western areas of the city.

The initiative highlights a significant focus on the eastern parts of Sydney for housing growth over the next 20 years. This strategy aims to manage the anticipated population increase effectively, as revealed in the recent government report.
