Social and Affordable Housing

 As your elected O'Shannassy Ward Councillor I will continue my strong advocacy for:

• The release of suitable government land in Yarra Ranges for social and affordable housing. 

• Provide investment to urgently increase the number of social housing dwellings, and crisis accommodation units in Yarra Ranges. 

• Increases to Commonwealth Rental Assistance to assist those struggling in private rentals. 

• Amend Victorian legislation to better enable the provision of social and affordable housing including: the introduction of ‘inclusionary zoning’, controls around underutilised properties, and controls to improve the safety and affordability of rooming houses. 

• the Warburton Cerini Centre Social and Affordable Housing project which is being led by the Warburton Advancement League to build social housing in the Upper Yarra Valley.

A big shout out to the Warburton Advancement League & ADRA Community Care Centre - Redwood/Warburton for being such strong advocates for the Cerini Centre Warburton – Affordable Social Housing Project.
