Project Number: 80649
Research Theme: Housing_affordability, Urban_planning_and_development
Project Leader: Rowley, Steven
Funding Year: 2011
Research Centre: Western Australia

Description

This Investigative Panel will bring together key development stakeholders from Sydney and Perth to identify the main barriers to infill development and put forward solutions to overcome these barriers.

Key challenges addressed in the panel will include:

• How to increase the supply of housing through infill development (e.g. streamlined planning incentives to development etc.).
• How to deliver a range of diverse housing products in infill developments.
• How to deliver affordable and sustainable housing (e.g. through inclusionary zoning).
• How to minimise development costs with direct effects on housing affordability.
• Identifying land supply and ownership issues and addressing how these issues affect the development process.
• Identifying the optimum delivery strategy for infrastructure to support infill development.
  

The outcome of the project will be a list of recommendations designed to increase the supply of appropriate, diverse and affordable housing through in-fill development.
