Innovative Housing
Consultation has concluded
The City hosted the Innovative Housing Expo on 2 December 2018 which featured Tiny Houses on wheels on display and key speakers to share their experiences about the Tiny House movement.
In addition to the Expo, the City conducted a survey which sought the community's perspectives on innovative housing solutions.
Outcome
The survey opened in September 2018 and closed on 4 March 2019. A total of 77 responses were received, with the majority of respondents showing favourable views towards innovative housing. The majority of respondents (72/77) indicated they would like to see alternative housing types in their community, 69/74 thought the City would benefit from greater diversity of housing types and 60/74 supported an amendment to the City's planning scheme to allow for innovative housing solutions.
In May 2020, the City sought community feedback on its draft Local Housing Strategy. Under the Strategy, Strategy 5.0 aims to facilitate more housing diversity and opportunity for aging in place.
