The New South Wales government has announced a major expansion to a housing project after a significant setback in its efforts to tackle the state’s housing crisis.

On May 30, the state government said it had made changes to the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 to enable more housing as part of the redevelopment of the old Sydney Fish Market site.
