How has the 2011 Casey Housing Diversity Statement contributed to providing a greater range of housing types in new developments?

Comments

The Casey Housing Diversity Statement was adopted by Council in January 2011 to encourage the development industry to provide a range of housing types in new developments, particularly smaller homes with one or two bedrooms and homes that include accessible features, which are often costly to alter for a person who has limited or impaired mobility.

If you earned $500 of less per week, what type(s) of accommodation would you like to be able to access in Casey? What do you need to consider when choosing where to live?

Low income households are defined by those who earn $500 or less per week. It is near impossible for low income households to purchase a home in Casey and it is also particularly difficult to secure a rental property. Council would like to understand the priorities for accommodation for low income households in Casey and whether these needs are adequately provided for in the current housing market.
