Event description

Meet the Candidates - Bellingen Shire Council Elections - Local Housing Issues


The Housing Matters Action Group is hosting an online Meet the Candidates Forum focused on the housing issues being experienced in our
local community and more broadly.  We believe that all levels of
government have key roles to play in helping to fix the housing system
and to bring about positive change. 

In May this year, the current council declared a housing crisis in the Bellingen Shire. Issues include limited housing stock for rentals and purchase, significant increase in housing prices and rents, lack of available land, and lack of investment in affordable housing solutions. 

The Housing Matters Action Group has worked closely with the current council over the last 4 years on a number of projects including:

  • Encouraging community engagement with the Local Housing Strategy 2020-2040
  • Feasibility to establish a Community Land Trust
  • The redevelopment of existing infrastructure to provide affordable rentals

This online forum will be an opportunity to discuss the local housing issues and hear from local candidates on this important topic.
