Housing Strategy 2015

The Housing Strategy 2015 is for everyone living in the city whether you are an owner-occupier, living in a social housing, renting privately or homeless. The Strategy was developed through extensive consultation and has three overarching priorities that reflect the fundamental housing needs of the city.
