We back workable, economic solutions to housing affordability that take a rational approach to Melbourne’s population growth

— Permit reasonable increases to density in our inner and middle suburbs, as the pragmatic and evidenced based approach to:

Accommodate Melbourne’s population growth

Let your child afford a house in your suburb

Let you downsize after 70 and remain in your suburb

— Remove tax laws that inhibit European inspired ‘Build to Rent’ and ‘Rent to Buy’ schemes that provide tenants with long term security and flexibility

— More ambitious targets for the Social Housing Renewal Plan

— Stamp Duty reductions to incentivise investment in social housing

— Investor and business-friendly rental solutions that protect tenants and work for owners

— Coordinated, multi-agency, well-funded responses to homelessness
