Industry survey, Manningham Residential Discussion Paper
Manningham is growing. Over the next 12 years, our population is expected to increase by more than 18,000 people to more than 144,000 people. This means we will need more than 8,200 new homes.
As our community changes, we need to plan for a range of homes that cater for different needs and life stages. We also need to carefully plan the location of future housing to support the affordability, sustainability and character of our suburbs.
That’s why we are updating the Manningham Residential Strategy.
The first stage in developing the new strategy is the preparation of our Residential Discussion Paper.
The Residential Discussion Paper identifies four themes to underpin our housing future:
- Location and connectedness
- Housing design quality
- Neighbourhood character
- Housing choice, diversity and affordability
These themes will set the foundation for how we manage growth and work together as a Council with the development industry to achieve desired outcomes for all.
We want to hear from you
As part of the engagement on the Residential Discussion Paper, an industry survey has been prepared so that we can better understand views, priorities, needs and expectations relating to housing in Manningham.
Given your experience in the building, planning or design of housing developments in Manningham, we are interested in understanding how you view the future of housing provision in Manningham. We also want to understand the issues you are facing in designing and building housing in Manningham.
Survey insights will help inform the draft updated Residential Strategy.
