Local Housing Strategy

Consultation has concluded

Murray River Council is experiencing rapid growth. Whether it be a reflection of current national trends showing rapid movement of people out of cities and into regional areas (like ours!), or the simple choice to make Murray River Council home, we have seen unprecedented demand for new housing over the last few years.

As a result, Council has developed a new Murray River Council Local Housing Strategy to manage the supply of housing within the region over the next 20 years.

The Strategy has been developed following an initial round of community consultation on local housing supply issues in late 2021 and is a direct action emerging from our Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS).

The two-part strategy outlines the key factors effecting housing supply and demand within Murray River Council and offers an implementation plan for land activation and housing delivery on a town-by-town basis.

In detail, it provides background on the issues and opportunities across the Murray River Council area and provides direction for the sequential release of residential land and a suite of tools for land consolidation and activation.

The Strategy is now being implemented.
