A Report on the Local Government and Housing Linkage Project National Survey

This report presents the results of an online survey of local governments across Australia on their attitudes, programs, policies and actions with respect to housing. This survey is part of an Australian Research Council Linkage Project investigating the role of local government in housing Australians in the 21st Century. This report focuses on the data from respondents in the Sydney metropolitan areas. Overall, 213 local governments in Australia completed the survey - representing about 40 per cent of all local governments. Project investigators found that the majority of respondents in Sydney agreed that local government has a role in responding to housing issues and their Council is making it a high priority.
