澳大利亚新南威尔士州政府的秘密文件显示，近300块价值超过13.9亿澳元的公有地块可能被出售给私人市场。[1]这些地块由Homes NSW和Landcom进行评估，其中包括已被使用的公共设施（如高尔夫球场、学校椭圆形操场和火车站）以及空地。[1]政府声称该土地审计计划旨在解锁闲置或未充分利用的地块用于住房开发，但批评人士质疑这是否实际上只是高效地出售公共资产。[1]
根据评估文件，Homes NSW的电子表格列出128个地址，总估值至少13.9亿澳元，而Landcom的文件则列出297个地点，总地块面积1060万平方米。[1]迄今为止，Homes NSW已获得8块地，Landcom已购买5块地。[1]政府在2024年6月预算中表示，该土地审计将交付21,000套"经济适用房和市场"住房。然而，在政府公开宣布的77个房产审计地点中，仅有13块被Homes NSW和Landcom收购，其余26块已在私人市场上结算或交换。[1]
绿党议员Jenny Leong批评道："在三年多后，新州工党的土地审计似乎还没有实际交付单一住房。"[1]最有价值的地块位于纽卡素附近的Glendale，占地23.06公顷，由运输资产控股实体拥有，估值2.03亿澳元。[1]
A confidential government audit has identified nearly 300 publicly owned land parcels worth more than $1.39 billion that could be sold to private interests in New South Wales, Australia.[1] The assessment, conducted by Homes NSW and Landcom as part of the state government's response to the housing crisis, encompasses both developed sites currently in public use—including golf courses, school ovals, and train stations—as well as vacant land.[1]
The government maintains that the land audit initiative aims to unlock underutilized or dormant properties for residential development.[1] A Homes NSW spreadsheet lists 128 addresses with a combined valuation of at least $1.39 billion, while Landcom's documentation identifies 297 locations spanning approximately 10.6 million square meters of total area.[1] To date, Homes NSW has acquired eight parcels and Landcom has purchased five, according to the disclosed records.[1] Among publicly announced audit sites numbering 77, five were acquired by Landcom, eight by Homes NSW, and 26 have already settled or been exchanged on the private market.[1]
The June 2024 budget projected that the land audit would deliver 21,000 dwellings classified as affordable housing and market-rate housing combined.[1] However, critics challenge whether the program genuinely prioritizes housing production or amounts to an efficient liquidation of public assets. Greens MP Jenny Leong stated that "after more than three years, the NSW Labor land audit appears not to have actually delivered a single dwelling."[1] The most valuable identified parcel is a 23.06-hectare site in Glendale near Newcastle, owned by a transport assets holding entity and valued at $203 million.[1]
