Council is seeking community members to express their interest in joining a Community Reference Group, to provide feedback on the review and development of the new Housing Strategy.
The Housing Strategy will guide where and what kinds of new housing will be in the Yarra Ranges. The Strategy underpins the Planning Scheme council uses to assess planning applications. This Strategy will provide the basis for Council’s policy on affordable housing; influencing Council’s advocacy work on the provision of affordable housing in Yarra Ranges. The Strategy also guides the design of new residential developments to increase accessibility and sustainability.
The purpose of the Community Reference Group is to provide input at key points as the project proceeds, including the:
- Discussion Paper
- Draft Housing Strategy
- Planning Scheme Amendment
The Project Reference Group is open to community members passionate about the future of Housing in Yarra Ranges.
We encourage candidates who are comfortable working in a group with diverse opinions, on a range of topics, to apply.
A maximum of eight people will be appointed to the Community Reference Group
The EOI process will close on Tuesday, 5 April. You will be notified on or after Tuesday, 26 April.
