Agree with extent of affordable housing threshold proposed by Council, i.e. 11+ residential units or 1,000+ sqm (GIA).
Highly concerned with proposed increase in affordable housing requirement from 40% to 50%.
Annual affordable requirement of 210 dwellings equates either to 31% or 28% of OAN.
50% level has not been evidenced by SHMA or DLP.
Affordable Housing Viability Study from CBRE (2012) is out-of-date.
Viability evidence should be produced by next round of consultation.
Policy should state an upper limit of 50% affordable housing.
