The public housing sites in Lawson and Section 10 Greenway will be delivered by Housing ACT and the transfer of these sites to Housing ACT is currently under negotiation. The site in Lawson will be provided as a hand-back site from the englobo developer, following conclusion of the sale as mentioned above. Development has not commenced on these sites.
Lawson Stage 2 is also required to make provision for 20 community housing dwellings. The site will be provided as a hand-back site from the englobo developer, following conclusion of the sale as mentioned above. Development has not commenced on this site.
The first stage of Strathnairn currently under construction will also include the 14 Community Housing dwellings set out in the City Renewal Authority and Suburban Land Agency (Housing Target) Determination 2018 (No 1). The Joint Venture has been in discussions with community housing providers on options for the delivery of community housing models in Strathnairn. This includes the provision of a site for micro lot housing, a shared equity model between Community Housing Providers, financial institutions and the Joint Venture, and the expansion of community housing as a result of infrastructure renewal.
How are the numbers of affordable dwellings, public housing dwellings and community housing dwellings in the City Renewal Authority and Suburban Land Agency housing target determination No 2 issued this month determined?
The draft targets for affordable, public and community housing are developed by a cross-directorate reference group, comprising officials responsible for housing policy, land release, public and community housing, and the Government land delivery agencies. The Government then reviews and agrees to the targets each year as part of the Government’s Indicative Land Release Program. The three Ministers responsible for the City Renewal Precinct, urban renewal and the development of new suburbs then make the final determination in the form of a Notifiable Instrument.
The views of the Housing Commissioner are sought as part of the determination of these targets as required by the City Renewal Authority and Suburban Land Agency Act 2017.
As advised in the Government Response to the Select Committee on Estimates 2018-2019, the targets for affordable, community and public housing are informed by the location, suitability and development potential of land made available through the Government’s Indicative Land Release Program.
This includes consideration of social and affordable housing need, amenity, proximity to schools, transport, employment centres, and public open space, as well as existing concentrations of affordable and social housing in each suburb. The targets also take into consideration the development capacity of the Community Housing Sector and Housing ACT, as well as the impact on land revenues in the context of the ACT Budget.
