Exective Summary of Housing Analysis Review

The Housing Analysis is intended to assist Council with the preparation of a housing needs assessment as outlined in the State Planning Policy 1/07: Housing and Residential Development (SPP1/07). A housing needs assessment assists in indicating a range of appropriate housing options that respond to identified housing needs. SPP 1/07 envisages that the housing needs assessment, in conjunction with a planning scheme analysis, will inform planning scheme measures that provide opportunities for these housing options.

This Housing Analysis provides a summary of the findings of a review of the demographic characteristics, the housing market characteristics, and housing needs characteristics.  These findings are reported for the Central Highlands Regional Council area and are benchmarked against the Central Queensland Region and the whole of Queensland.  The analysis provides an integrated overview of the implications of the findings on reviewing and estimating the range of housing options that would respond to existing and future housing need in the Central Highlands Regional Council area.
