Improved housing and rental affordability

Home » Improved housing and rental affordability

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
