Show Notes
Randwick Council grapples with a surge in co-living developments near UNSW, with 5,200 rooms planned or approved, yet none contributing to the councils housing target. Co-living, featuring small private rooms and shared facilities, has gained popularity due to planning changes and high land costs. Council members worry about single-focus neighborhoods and land shortages for traditional homes, while students and advocates argue for affordable options near universities. Despite stricter design rules and council urging for co-living to count toward targets, new projects continue to emerge, highlighting the challenge of balancing density, affordability, and diverse communities in Sydneys growth.
