Recommendation 71

Improve long-term planning and inform investment for social and affordable housing

Recommendation

71. Improve planning and inform investment for social and affordable housing by:

  1. preparing and publishing 10+ year regional housing plans for each WA region, including the Perth metropolitan area, to provide a consistent evidence base and drive better housing outcomes across the state, to be refreshed at least every 5 years
  2. conducting an initial regional housing plan pilot to resolve housing data coordination and management challenges, define requirements and establish methods of stakeholder input.
