The Ground Beneath Our Feet - public land use and delivery of affordable housing

Land is fundamental to the delivery of housing. It is literally the foundation upon which housing is built, and those who control it, thus, also effectively control the delivery of new housing. In the context of insufficient availability of affordable housing in many regions, this event will look at the different ways in which government is using strong land management policies to boost the delivery of new social & affordable homes. This will include the presentation of a number of case studies.

- Julie Lawson - Adjunct Professor, RMIT University (Speaker)
