New inner-city housing project for Glebe

"The New South Wales Government and the City of Sydney Council have announced they will jointly develop 700 new homes in the inner Sydney suburb of Glebe.
NSW Housing Minister Matt Brown says the houses will be a mixture of public and private home units covering a 3.6-hectare site.
He says some of the units will be set aside for essential workers.
"We really are wanting to have a mix that is public housing, social housing where we have key workers, nurses, police, and the like, so they don't have to travel long distances from the suburbs to work in the city," he said.
The Sydney Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the $260 million project, saying Sydney businesses cannot afford low-income workers to be priced out of Sydney.
The chamber's executive director, Patricia Forsythe, said in a statement that future housing needs will be increasingly meet by brownfield developments.
"It's pleasing to see a commitment from [State] Government and city council to rejuvenating key sites in close proximity to the CBD," she said."
