In early November, Shelter NSW staff, including CEO John Engeler, were invited and spoke to the Sydney Alliance community action group, councillors, residents and ratepayers to help inform on options to support affordable rental housing delivery in the Sutherland Shire. This resulted in Council adopting an LGA wide Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme (AHCS). The adoption of an AHCS for Sutherland Shire is a real credit to the ongoing efforts of the Sydney Alliance group on behalf of their community.
