- 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 for planning reform and long-term sustainable funding.
