Low and Mid Rise Housing Policy

On the 10th February 2026 Neutral Precinct was fortunate to have Meredith Trevalyn Jones as a guest speaker and presented on the subject of the NSW Governments Low and Mid Rise Housing Policy. She used current examples which are happening right now in Neutral Bay and were of great interest to all attending.

We have reproduced here presentation slides in their entirety below.
