QUESTIONS / GENERAL BUSINESS
0 New Item (Committees) - The Need for the Development of a Social Housing Policy
7. QUESTION ON NOTICE - The Need for the Development of a Social Housing Policy
Councillor Marnie Doyle raised the following queries as a Question on Notice:
Whilst Council's social housing position or strategy is guided by our Local Housing Action Plan (LHAP), and aims to increase housing diversity, choice, and affordability through collaborative action with state and federal governments, the recent Ipswich City Plan 2025 supports this goal by zoning land for a range of housing types, including opportunities for social and affordable housing in appropriate locations.
Do we need to go further and develop a specific social housing policy that clearly maps out a pathway for social housing providers?
We recently approved an initiative in partnership with the Domestic Violence Action Centre and the Federal Government.
Are there learnings from that project where we can further streamline and expedite the delivery of these projects?
