Member Lean-In: Shifting demand

Learn from Infrastructure Victoria CEO Dr Jonathan Spear and Principal Planner Dr Kath Phelan as they discuss the independent advisory body’s latest research “Our home choices: how more housing options can make better use of Victoria’s existing infrastructure”. The report looks at how existing demand for housing in new greenfield suburbs can be shifted to established suburbs, closer to existing infrastructure such as schools, hospitals and public transport. One in five Victorian households said they would trade a detached home in a new suburb for a townhouse or apartment for the same price closer to city centres. But a lack of suitable housing for moderate income households, especially families and first home buyers, is pushing people further away from jobs, schools and public transport and putting more pressure on the city’s urban fringe. The research offers 10 policy interventions to shift housing demand.
