Council reveals exactly where an extra 20,000 people will go

Port Stephens Council has outlined how much each region is expected to grow by.

Port Stephens is forecast to grow by almost 20,000 people over the next 20 years and to accommodate the growth, more than 11,000 new dwellings need to build.

To prepare for the population boom, Port Stephens Council has created a draft local housing strategy to map out its vision for future housing.
