Wyndham council is seeking community views on a proposed Affordable Housing Strategy for 2022-25.

Community members can express their views by heading to Wyndham council’s community engagement platform, The Loop.

The draft strategy establishes a vision and set goals for council to pursue opportunities to meet Wyndham’s projected housing needs, support services and finding innovative affordable housing solutions.

Councillor Jennie Barrera said council strives to ensure the community has access to affordable housing that meets their needs.

“Every person living in Wyndham deserves the enhanced stability and wellbeing that comes

from knowing you have secure housing. Everyone deserves a home.”

The approach will require partnerships between all levels of government, private sector developers and community housing organisations.

Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard said a safe, connected and inclusive future is the “core of everything” at Wyndham council.

“This new draft Affordable Housing Strategy has been developed by listening to our community, key stakeholders and by looking at the data to understand our social and affordable housing needs,” he said.

“I encourage all community members to jump online to view the draft strategy and have

their say.”

Residents must provide their feedback about the strategy before Thursday, April 21.
