More Affordable Homes
Increase investment in social and affordable housing to support those most in need.
Push for responsible urban planning that increases housing supply while maintaining community character and green spaces.
Support inclusionary zoning policies that require new developments to include affordable housing options.
Stronger Renters’ Rights
Advocate for rent caps and better protections against unfair evictions.
Push for longer-term leases to provide stability for renters.
Ensure rental properties meet basic quality and safety standards to protect tenants.
Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to live, yet too many people in Chisholm are struggling with rising housing costs. Whether renting or trying to buy a home, people are being priced out of the suburbs they love. I am committed to real action that makes housing more accessible and ensures long-term stability for families, young people, and essential workers.
Housing Affordability
Helping First-Home Buyers
Support policies that make it easier for first-home buyers to enter the market, including stamp duty reform and shared equity schemes.
Push for more transparency in property pricing to prevent underquoting and price manipulation.
Encourage sustainable housing developments that provide affordable and well-located homes for buyers.
Tackling Housing Stress
Work towards fairer tax policies that prioritise homeownership over speculative investment.
Push for better access to emergency housing support for those at risk of homelessness.
Advocate for stronger protections against housing discrimination to ensure everyone has access to a home.
No one should be forced to choose between paying rent, buying food, or covering essential bills. By addressing the housing crisis head-on, we can build a future where everyone in Chisholm has a secure place to call home.
