More than 500 dwellings have been proposed across three developments, which include an 80-metre tower in the city, seven residential flats on a former Ausgrid site and what would be the tallest building in a quiet Lake Macquarie suburb.
The three developments were among almost 100 proposals in NSW to be declared state significant by the Housing Delivery Authority, giving more than 22,000 homes access to a streamlined planning pathway.
