Provide housing diversity and choice
- Undertake a Housing Diversity and Land Supply and Demand Study to ensure we are providing desired land and housing options for our projected populations needs. This will inform land use allocation and infrastructure planning decisions, including the range of lot sizes and housing types that the planning scheme should provide for. The study will include:
- Detailed vacant and infill land supply analysis to determine a realistic estimate of available land for development across the region.
- A housing needs assessment.
- An assessment of the feasibility of development to ensure they are operating as intended and to identify opportunities for improvements.
- Finding solutions to resolve conflicts between constraints and growth pressures (e.g. revisions to the settlement pattern - growth assumptions and priorities based on predicted type, scale, location and timing of future development - and changes to zoning and development requirements and infrastructure plans).
