Victoria's Housing Statement & Statewide Housing Targets
In September 2023, the State government released Victoria's Housing Statement, and in June 2024, they drafted State-wide Housing Targets.
These targets will be set for each Council area, including Mount Alexander. The targets aren't finalised yet, and more information is expected in late 2024.
Council officers are working on a draft strategy based on the State's guidance, once the draft is ready, we'll ask the community for feedback.
There are 328 lots available in Maldon and 206 lots in Newstead (from 2021 to 2041), which should last for 53 and 43 years respectively. Because of this, we don't expect the new draft housing targets to greatly affect the overall strategy.
However, we're unsure how detailed the new draft targets will be and whether they will specify the types of housing or the exact locations for new development.
What's next?
The feedback heard in 2023 will be used to inform the development of the draft strategy, which will be released mid/late 2024.
