Mr Newman said proceeds from the Millers Point auctions were being reinvested into the supply of more than 1,500 new social housing dwellings across Sydney and regional NSW.
“Market interest has remained robust for these historic homes given their unique characteristics and proximity to Sydney’s CBD,” Mr Newman said.
“To date there have been 47 government-owned properties sold in Millers Point, raising more than $116 million for much-needed social housing across the State,” he said.
New dwellings have been built in Condell Park, Padstow, Yagoona, Gymea, Lurnea, Chester Hill, Kingswood, Mount Warrigal, Beverly Hills, Warilla, Casula and Miranda.
