Also investigates other potential land use zoning mechanisms that may be more flexible than SPZs, covering the delivery of houses at scale, encouragement of alternative housing delivery models, infrastructure-first approach to development, boosting areas of low market interest, area regeneration and delivering improved placemaking outcomes for communities.
