Description

What is affordable housing and what role does it play in our city?

The City of Melbourne’s Affordable Housing Strategy recognises the importance of delivering affordable housing as part of City’s commitment to supporting an inclusive and diverse community. As well as apartments, a boutique hotel, parking, hospitality and retail, the new Queen Victoria Market Munro Precinct also contains a new library, family services and affordable apartments. The mixed-use development of this site showcases the complexity of public and private programming required to create a vibrant and inclusive city.

Facilitated by Tania Davidge, this is one of a series of ‘Making Home’ events for Open House Melbourne, shining a light on social and affordable housing.
