This episode of The Residential Developer Podcast breaks down the Low & Mid-Rise Housing Policy that came into effect on February 28, 2025.

Not all areas qualify, and we clear up misconceptions about the 800m rule near train stations and town centers. Property prices in high-demand areas like the Northern Beaches are already shifting—will this reshape the market? Learn how minimum lot sizes, frontage requirements, and floor space ratios have changed to allow for smarter developments. The NSW Government aims to unlock 112,000 new homes over the next five years—how can you take advantage?

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #258 Broadcast date: 18 Mar 2025 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guests: Dr Sherman Chan, Chief Economist at Business NSW Dr Sherman Chan is one of those few economists who, when they explain a complex problem, it makes sense. That's why whenever you attend a BusinessNSW event where she is presenting her findings or read their quarterly Business Insights data report, the science of economics becomes a little clearer. The report provides policy makers and business owners insights from small business in the form of robust, clearly presented data which is consistent in its presentation of its data. That's why we're pleased to present this information to you on a regular basis on Small Biz Matters. In March 2025, for the first time in three years, the report offering a positive lift in the confidence index. Insurance remains a top concern and we are very much in a 2 speed economy but the green shoots have started appearing alongside the RBA's interest rate cut and as Sherman says, “Confidence comes hand in hand with resilience.” Regularly briefing small business intel from the quarterly business insights report to the likes of NSW Treasury, the RBA and federal politicians, Dr Chan has an intelligent approach to data gathering, presenting it in a clear and relatable way, Dr Sherman Chan is exactly the right person to deliver the information you need to understand the state of small business right now. She joins us to unpack the findings of the March 2025 report for small business owners, their advisors and policy makers here on Small Biz Matters. Tell us about the findings in this quarter's Business NSW data report. What insights have you been able to extract from the data in particular for small businesses? Is the data showing different situation for regional or Metro base businesses? What will Business NSW adjust in its priority issues when representing small businesses in NSW? How will they change their policy priorities?  What do you see as the main issues that Business NSW will be advocating for change for small businesses in the coming 12 months? Were you surprised by any of the findings? Sherman is an economist with experience in government, banking and consulting. In her role as Chief Economist at Business NSW, Sherman drives strategic research and builds the evidence base for policy advocacy. She manages the quarterly Business Conditions Survey – Business NSW's flagship research product that generates insights into business opportunities and challenges across key industries in NSW. Prior to joining Business NSW, Sherman was a Senior Manager in the Risk and Regulatory Consulting practice at MinterEllison. This followed a six-year stint in NSW Government with agencies including NSW Treasury and the Audit Office of NSW where she led large-scale program evaluations and performance audits.   Sherman's journey as an economist also includes working at Moody's Analytics and HSBC (Hong Kong) during the Global Financial Crisis, covering economies and financial markets across the Asia-Pacific region. Sherman also has experience working at the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. Sherman holds a PhD and a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours in Economics) both from UNSW. Proficient in both macroeconomics and microeconomics, Sherman has been a Lecturer at UNSW since 2014. She specialises in government policy evaluation, impact measurement and cost-benefit analysis. Business NSW is the peak business organisation for New South Wales representing the needs of 48,000 businesses across the state.

Atpresent, children under the age of 16 are prohibited from riding e-scooterson the footpath. The head of trauma at the Westmead Children’s HospitalDr Soundappen said this week he was shocked at the number of childrenbeing admitted for injuries from e-scooters and e-bikes, up 400 percent injust 12 months. Dr Soundappen said most of the injuries came from e-scooters and nearly two thirds of the children were not wearing a helmet.There is now considerable concern in the community, especially from theelderly, at the prospect of being hit by an e-scooter and I hope theGovernment gives it plenty of thought when the parliamentary inquiry ishanded down in May.

Deep Dive: Have you cut meat out of your diet for ethical reasons, only to eventually return to that late-night cheeseburger or pub chicken parma?

On this episode of The Briefing, Bension Siebert speaks to several former vegans and vegetarians on why they chose to go back to meat, as well as experts on how to get the nutrients you need for health, fitness and muscle growth goals if you plan to go vegan in 2025.

We're all familiar with energy ratings on appliances and cars, but what if your home came with one too? Could this be where the housing market is headed? Today, we sit down with Cecille Weldon, Australia's top expert in residential energy efficiency, to explore what this could mean for the future of housing.
