UPDATE: As at August 2019, please find [in the library section of this page] an independent review of feedback received during Round 3 of Community Consultation for the Willoughby Housing Strategy.

Background Information

Willoughby’s population is estimated to rise to 91,848 by 2036 (+13,830 persons). With this increase in population, an additional 6.700 dwellings will be required to 2036.
