Which initiatives are Council enabling/delivering as part of the HAP?

Council does not currently own or manage any social housing across the district. At the end of 2023 the emergency housing register for the district held 174 requests for housing.

The intent of the Housing Action Plan (HAP) is to focus on enabling improved processes through council, improving efficiency to reduce time and cost for consenting activities.

At the same time Council continues to engage with developers, government departments and the wider community around potential social and affordable housing opportunities. Our focus is on connecting those contributors in the community who are keen to help with delivering affordable housing opportunities, for those most in need.
