Great to see Elle Lawless, ED of the Conservation Council ACT, making the case for urban infill as a way of reducing suburban sprawl and protecting our environment. It’s time for the ACT government to support missing middle housing across our city! https://t.co/9S3tBesfDv
The recently finalised inquiry into the Territory Plan makes it clear - Canberra’s planning laws are standing in the way of climate action & abundant housing. With all parties in furious agreement on the need for reform, it’s time to get on with the job. Read our statement below.
@ChrisSteelMLA Allowing shop top apartments, more low-rise flats near local shops, and reducing parking requirements to allow for more homes were all key parts of the @MissingMidCBR platform. Let’s hope this is just the first step toward turning these changes into reality.
Great to see @ChrisSteelMLA focusing on barriers to missing middle housing and the need for more homes near local shops! More homes in the places people want to live means greener and easier commutes, and more affordable housing options for all Canberrans.
So great to see this project to support vulnerable Canberran women and children is now built! Time to make @MissingMidCBR law so we can build more mid-density social housing across Canberra.
Tonight's @MissingMidCBR panel was one of the very few times I've been to an event discussing the challenges this city faces and left feeling optimistic and hopeful.
We have a vision. We have a clear, realistic plan. We just need the Government to agree.

Big news - the NSW Government is taking action to allow more mid-density homes across major cities. If the ACT Government is serious about housing affordability and climate action, we need to follow them and embrace @MissingMidCBR.
NSW has announced the abolition of single family zoning state wide, amending the R2 zone to allow duplexes throughout the state.
NSW now has a more ambitious upzoning plan for Quenbeyan than @actgovernment has for Canberra. @MissingMidCBR now.
