Recent research by Mecone unveils a significant trend: Sydney’s new housing development is leaning heavily towards greenfields, despite government aspirations to the contrary. In just five years, greenfield housing has jumped from 18% to almost 50% of new development, while homes near train stations have dwindled from 42% to 31%.

 

But there’s a looming challenge. With greenfield areas rapidly filling up and only an estimated four years of housing capacity left in Sydney, are we on the brink of a deeper supply crisis?
