This Inquiry final report brings together three separate research projects to examine the capacity of Australia’s smaller cities to assist in managing population growth, including international and national migration; and provides advice on which policy instruments and programs are most likely to redirect population movements to these places.

This research investigates the lived experience of regional city residents (in five case studies) to understand how the benefits and disadvantages of regional city life are perceived and explore attitudes towards population growth.

This research analyses how evaluation of public housing renewal is informing policy development and delivery so as to maximise financial returns and socio-economic outcomes, and seeks to understand how key public policies, such as mixed-tenure development, can enable both social and economic returns.

This report examines how planning and housing policy domains have successfully worked more closely together to deliver increased affordable housing supply in urban renewal areas in Sydney, Adelaide & Brisbane.

This report critically assesses the formation of Public-Private Partnerships and their ongoing operation beyond potential cost/benefit comparisons against traditional frameworks.
