This report is part of the AHURI Inquiry into Population Growth, Migration and Agglomeration. The aim of the
Inquiry is to interrogate Australian and international evidence on the range of costs and benefits associated with agglomeration economies, when these effects may arise, how they might change with city scale, and how they might depend on spatial context

The study finds that macro-scale population projections over the long term largely align with overall population changes.
The bulk of Australia’s population growth has been concentrated in major cities, where projections were exceeded on the outer edges and inner-city areas. Regional Australia has shared overall population growth, with only a few areas recording absolute population decline.

Ensuring liveability and accessibility in medium to high-density urban housing and precincts in our cities is critical to maximise investment and minimise future risks to our community. This research will investigate the current leading practices, considering future innovative options, and case studies. A key outcome will be a Liveability Framework for Medium to High-Density Social and Affordable Housing, based on a forward-looking set of quality standards, considered against investment costs.

This report examines tenancy sustainment patterns in Unison’s Rooming House and Long-Term housing stock. It builds on previous work published by the Unison Housing Research Lab on early tenancy loss, by examining the full spectrum of different times at which tenancies either exit or continue. Understanding tenancy sustainment patterns is critical to Housing Associations like Unison, for whom a large proportion of tenants have experienced sustained social and economic exclusion and chronic housing instability. Improving tenancy sustainment rates is one of the key goals of many social housing providers and for good reason. Extant research shows there are clear social and economic benefits when households maintain their social housing tenancies.

Research into the gaps in housing for ATSI young people is needed.

It is well established that those leaving out-of-home care (OHC) experience considerable disadvantage and that this is exacerbated for Indigenous care leavers. This study examined the housing, homelessness, mental health, alcohol and drug and juvenile justice service usage pathways for care leavers located in Victoria and Western Australia. The types of services that support care leavers to obtain and maintain housing were of interest.
