Cooperative housing is a real housing solution and something all levels of government need to consider and invest in.

As we look for solutions to the housing crisis, the government is being pushed to consider cooperative housing as an option to help the missing-middle - nurses, teachers, police officers - secure housing in the places that they need to live.

Patrick Carrigan, the respected captain and powerhouse forward of the Brisbane Broncos, revealed that he is donating his entire AUD $5 million ea...

4 years on from our initial discussions with our local Council, that led to years of tireless efforts, Show Cause Notices, Enforcement Notices, and meetings with all levels of council plus months of advocacy talking to thousands of community members.....Listen to this 👇still councils & state governments are refusing to clear the path for private landowners and tiny home owners to come together with a private agreement that solves the housing situation for that person. Change is desperately needed for thousands of tiny home owners & the landowners nationwide who are willing to make a difference.

ABC Radio National did a series called 'The Home Front'. A total of 6 episodes, well worth the listen. Here is the link to the first episode: The Home Front - Owning the Dream.

Community living is featured in episodes 2 & 3, with a conversation about living in cooperatives.

What if Australia’s housing crisis wasn’t just a problem — but a chance to build something better? In the Home Front, we unpack the historical, cultural, and political forces that shaped our national obsession with home ownership. From post-war prosperity to suburban ideals, we explore how the...

Last year, the Shellharbour Council in NSW indicated that they were considering changes to its planning scheme to allow tiny homes.

According to Shellharbour Council, for the trial to proceed, a Planning Proposal must be prepared to amend the Shellharbour Local Environmental Plan 2013 that would allow mobile homes to be installed on existing residential properties without a development application, subject to strict conditions.

They have now opened up the changes for community consultation. This trial could open up opportunities for other councils to follow. You can Shellharbour's proposal.

Our Sunshine Coast mayor campaigned on supporting tiny homes on wheels. She even attended one our community meetings. Yet crickets!

Let's hope this candidate, if elected, follows through on her campaign promises.

"I stand to remove barriers to AFFORDABLE HOUSING by bringing all levels of government together to work change the National Construction Code, the state planning rules to define Tiny Houses as a distinct housing type, ensuring compliance is easy."

I’m running for the Legislative Council because I believe Tasmania needs more independent, community-focused voices in Parliament. The role of a Legislative Councillor is to review laws carefully, represent their community faithfully, and hold government to account for fair, efficient, and transpa...
