Our commitment includes:
- Ensuring up to 25 per cent of all future residential development on land owned by the City of Melbourne is dedicated to affordable housing.
- Leasing a City of Melbourne-owned site to a community housing provider to deliver a long term affordable rental housing project in the next five years, seeking funding from the Victorian Government Big Housing Build.
- Committing a City of Melbourne-owned site for a supported housing project to address homelessness in the next five years.
- Advocating to the Victorian Government to develop an ambitious 10-year ‘Homes Victoria Strategy’, which should include clear, affordable housing targets and a tangible approach to achieving them, such as through the introduction of mandatory inclusionary zoning.
- Advocating to the Australian Government to deliver a long-term National Housing and Homelessness Strategy. The strategy should commit to systemic change in the housing market and increase funding for affordable housing.
