Housing solutions for local communities: Q Shelter 2020 Queensland local government election platform

Abstract

Local governments in Queensland shape our cities and towns in significant ways. This includes land use planning, the provision of infrastructure, and the management of public spaces. While Federal and State Governments have a very important role in addressing housing needs, local government is a critical partner in providing solutions for more affordable housing and in responding to homelessness. There are 5 actions that local government can take to deliver more affordable housing and enhanced homelessness services in their community.
