        affordable accommodation within community housing developments; and
     E. Council continue to work closely with State Member Sandy Bolton and her Housing Action
        Group.


Finance
Implementation of the Housing Strategy has been budgeted for.
Risk & Opportunities
Council will not be able to solve the housing crisis, however the Housing Strategy is its commitment
to the community that it intends to be part of the housing solution and work collaboratively towards
an inclusive community where residents have safe housing. Given the social and economic impacts
of unmet housing needs to the Shire the risks of inaction are considerable.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
A Housing Stakeholder Reference Group helped inform the development of the Housing
Strategy. The community was consulted while it was in draft form. Since adoption there has been a
community forum and numerous media releases on the matter. Fact sheets have also been
produced and published. During 2024 there will be extensive community consultation around
housing choice and diversity, including on the proposed planning scheme amendments and the need
for infill development.
