For fairness

While housing and homelessness is the State Government's responsibility, we use our powers to deliver affordable housing and services for rough sleepers.

For fairness

Through levies, developer contributions and selling city-owned land at discounted rates to community housing providers, we’ve delivered more than 1,000 affordable housing units – with another 600 in the pipeline.

We are currently battling with the State Government for more social and affordable housing including Aboriginal housing, but have achieved a better environment for the redevelopment of public housing at Waterloo.

We were the first Council in Australia to create a dedicated Homelessness Unit, and we invest more than $1 million a year in homelessness services.
