Local Housing Strategy

The Local Housing Strategy 2021 (LHS) aims to facilitate future housing in accordance with the Community’s growth and diverse needs.

The Strategies and Actions identify a need to guide new housing in a way that enhances neighbourhood character, sustainable development outcomes, and introduce a mix of housing types and sizes. The LHS also looks to simplify and update local planning documents and remove any unnecessary regulatory processes.

Periodically reviewed every five years, the Local Housing Strategy 2021 identifies opportunities for improvement in the current local planning framework and is a supporting technical document which informs the Local Planning Strategy.

The Local Housing Strategy 2021 was adopted at the Ordinary Council Meeting 27 July 2021 [OCM231/2021] and replaces the Local Housing Strategy 2014.
