When we say housing is affordable, we mean rent or mortgage repayments make up no more than 30 per cent of household income. While housing affordability is largely the result of state and federal policies and programs, and the market's response, Council has a role to play. It's our job to ensure there is enough zoned land, enabling development with an eye to choice and diversity. There is, and we are now seeing people take up these different opportunities. Applications for secondary dwellings – (granny flats or smaller dwellings on the same land as the main dwelling) have risen from 20 per year to 30 then 40 in the last three years.
