Findings

• There was clear support across the written submissions for a reduction in the number of properties being used across the Shire for short term accommodation,
  with many of the belief that this would provide a ‘quick’ solution to the housing crisis. The analysis highlighted there was little awareness of actions included in
  the strategy to reduce short term accommodation in the Shire.

• A large amount of responses also showed support for incentives to be provided to the private sector to deliver affordable housing. Some responses mentioned
  this could be through discounted fees or building permits.
