Have Your Say on Housing in Lake Macquarie

Lake Macquarie City Council is asking residents to share their thoughts on how and where future homes should be built, and your voice matters.

Two important consultations are now open. The short Housing Strategy survey (closing 30 November 2025) invites ideas on how to provide more housing choices that suit our growing and changing community.

You can take part at shape.lakemac.com.au/housingstrategy.

The Housing Diversity Development Control Plan (DCP) review (submissions close 24 November 2025) focuses on the design standards that guide new housing types, such as dual occupancies and medium-density homes. 

Details are at   shape.lakemac.com.au/housingdiversitydcp.
