This research uses Tasmania as a case study to examine how COVID-19 has affected regional housing markets and communities. As with all regions in Australia, there are distinct differences across, and sub-economies within the state. The capital city area of Hobart has some features common to other capital cities including a more expensive housing market.

This research examines the relationships between urban productivity and affordable rental housing, focusing particularly on the location and availability of affordable rental housing relative to employment and labour markets in capital cities and satellite cities. Lower income (Q2) workers who play critical roles in urban economies are more likely to experience housing stress (exceeding 30% of their income on housing costs) in these markets. 

This research examines the role of local government engagement and coordination in 21st century Australian metropolitan governance. It focusses on the role of local governments in cooperation with one another, the state governments and other actors at the metropolitan scale. 

This research investigates the potential of using the Department of Social Services (DSS) DOMINO (Data Over Multiple Individual Occurrences) dataset as a fine-grained, within-year data resource for housing research, and in particular explores the capacity of the DOMINO dataset to yield new insights into patterns of CRA (Commonwealth Rent Assistance) receipt in households reliant on Newstart Allowance, pensions and Family Tax Benefit.

This research examines the policy and regulatory settings that shape housing options available to households that own companion animals (also known as pets).
