Housing on the Ground Forum: Unlocking Homes for Our Workforce, Families and Future

The Northern Rivers is facing a housing crunch — and it’s choking our future.

We need action now, and a plan that delivers results in the short term, sets momentum in the mid-term, and holds up in the long term.

Join business leaders, local councils, state agencies, housing providers, developers, employers, and community leaders for a one-day forum that tackles housing on two fronts: what we can unlock today, and what we must build for tomorrow.

Why Come?

Because housing isn’t just a policy problem — it’s a people problem. This is a working forum designed to move projects from ideas to action, aligned with the ProspER Northern Rivers Regional Plan 2040 and the NSW Government’s new housing reforms.

This is about collaboration — bringing together everyone with a role to play to identify barriers, share solutions, and create a clear path forward for housing delivery across the region.

Who should attend:

Local governments, state agencies, developers, builders, community housing providers, infrastructure bodies, employers, financiers, support services — and anyone ready to be part of the solution.

Let’s stop spinning wheels. Let’s start moving ground.

Spaces are limited — register early to be part of the action.
