Committee Recommendation:
That the Housing and
Affordability Advisory Committee notes:
1. The key findings and outcomes of the Byron
Housing Summit as summarised in this report and as below:
a) The community to articulate what it wants and how to get
there, with importance of self-defined measures of success.
b) A desire to build on existing social capital as we adapt
and respond.
c) A preference to nurture a housing industry that embraces
alternative tenure and living options with a cooperative focus.
d) A promotion of the mosaic of communities as places which
are to be respected, with room to dabble and explore.
e) Participants warmed to the idea of a demonstration
village exemplifying diverse & affordable housing that is Byron friendly.
f) The underpinning of a respect of Bundjalung Country and
First Nation Peoples and therefore Aboriginal housing to be prioritised.
2. That
staff will consider the key findings and outcomes of the Byron Housing Summit
in future strategy, plan, policy and project work.
3. There are numerous housing initiatives and projects
currently being progressed by staff in response to multiple resolutions of
