The NSW government is under fire over its refusal to waive a 60-thousand dollar fee for a new Aboriginal housing project for the Block in Redfern.
The proposal, put forward by the Aboriginal Housing Company, includes plans for 62 houses, a gym and elders centre.
Shadow Planning Minister Brad Hazzard says the state government is using flimsy excuses to prevent the plan being considered on its merits.
“Frank Sartor shouldn’t actually be arguing anything until the project is in the Department of Planning and is properly being considered, but there’s a 60 thousand dollar hurdle in the way.”
