Housing and Accommodation

Chris provided a presentation on Growth and Leadership Through Property and Projects. He acknowledged that housing had been an issue well before COVID -19 and that Renewal SA were making regional South Australia a focus to identify housing priorities. Forward planning was also flagged as critical to accommodating future demand.

In some areas, the addition of 10-20 new homes may be all that is required to meet the accommodation needs, achieving significant outcomes with small increases to housing stock.

Chris then outlined the 5 ways affordable housing is facilitated, which encompassed

• mandated affordable housing
• government initiative schemes
• existing rental stock
• direct development
• structured development and finance deals
