Notes:
Shelter NSW invites all of our members to learn about and discuss our newly published research, written by Dr Cameron K. Murray and Professor Peter Phibbs, calling on the NSW Government to rethink its traditional approach to supplying social housing across the state â an approach that is holding back its key agency the Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC) and compromising the delivery of enough social housing to make a material difference to the housing crisis.
The report examines the economic and financial designs of the Waterloo South project, as a case study and public housing estate renewal generally, and proposes quite different ways to create more social housing and maximise the public return.
Dr Cameron K. Murray and Professor Peter Phibbs will present the findings of the research, with plenty of time for questions and open discussion.
If you are not yet a member but are interested in becoming one and attending this meeting, please apply here and then register to attend.
