Housing Action Plan

Housing Action Plan

The Hobart Housing Action Plan has been prepared by the City of Hobart to provide a clear strategy-led plan to respond to the need for more affordable housing stock for our diverse communities.

Home ownership and renting in the Hobart local government area is not affordable for many members of our community. The cost of constructing new homes in Tasmania has increased dramatically over the past few years and there is a limited, appropriate greenfield land supply in Greater Hobart near education, employment, health services and public transport.

By fostering collaboration and innovation, we aim to empower the housing sector to deliver solutions that make home ownership and renting in the City of Hobart within reach for all members of our community. Through evidence-based strategic planning and sustainable practices, we will provide a framework to meet housing needs.
