    Event description

    An important community forum to address housing affordability and accessibility. 

    Hosted by Zali Steggall MP, Federal Member for Warringah, you will hear from a panel of experts as they discuss the current housing situation in Warringah and possible solutions.

      Key Topics:

      • Housing affordability is one of the biggest issues facing people in Warringah and across the country. What are some immediate levers we can pull as a community to address the housing shortage?
      • What are some long term solutions to the housing crisis?
