YIMBY Qld

Make no mistake - Queensland is in the middle of a housing crisis. After a decade of poor planning and bad decisions by Labor, new solutions must be found and we are getting down to work. That's why our LNP Government is getting on with the huge job of securing our State's housing foundations to help more Queenslanders who are struggling to find somewhere to live. This week we gathered key industry groups from across the State to unlock church and charity-owned land for new housing. We have the bold target of building one million homes by 2044, so there's no time to waste. Sam O'Connor MP

Housing diversity in every neighbourhood. Yes, please! Sacramento City Council has unanimously adopted the Missing Middle Housing Interim Ordinance, becoming the first in California to allow multi-unit housing in all single-family neighbourhoods. It allows four-plexes, six-plexes, eight-plexes, ten-plexes cottage/bungalow courts, small homes on small lots and more, with the size of the building determined by the lot size and proximity to public transit. Core principles of the planning reform are:- neighbourhood scale (enabling them to blend well into existing residential neighbourhoods), trees and open space (as incentives to advance climate goals) and attainability and ownership (promoting the creation of new entry-level home ownership opportunities). Well done California YIMBY for never giving up YIMBY Qld #abundanthousing #housingforall #urbanplanning https://lnkd.in/gyq6CT54

I’m excited to be speaking at URBANITY tomorrow on a topic I am extremely passionate about, housing! I’ll be discussing all things missing middle with my co-panellists Panos Miltiadou and Tim Riley – with a deep dive into the opportunities in the private development space. I’m looking forward to what should be a hot topic! Not only am I speaking, but Brent O'Neill and Alastair Leighton are also presenting an exciting interactive workshop and Wolter Consulting Group are Gold Partners for the conference. Join me and the rest of the WCG crew at The Star, Gold Coast. Thanks The Urban Developer! https://lnkd.in/gYjhg53G
