Today, UDIA NSW released its Central Coast 2024 Local Election Platform, calling on candidates for Council to commit to delivering on affordable housing and jobs for the growing region.
“As a key stakeholder in the growth and prosperity of the Central Coast, UDIA NSW and the local development industry highly value a functional and committed elected Council to foster thriving communities across our region,” said Allison Basford, UDIA Central Coast Chapter Chair.
“Our vision is rooted in promoting housing options that are affordable and sustainable, enhancing infrastructure, and supporting economic opportunities to provide more jobs locally for our growing region,” said Ms Basford.
UDIA is committed to working collaboratively with the elected Council to achieve these priorities on behalf of the residents of the Central Coast. By focusing on housing, planning, governance and infrastructure, we can create a thriving, sustainable, and prosperous Central Coast.
In this upcoming local election, the UDIA Central Coast Local Election Platform outlines four key pillars, each of which highlight the critical issues facing our industry and the broader community.
- Housing
- Planning
- Councillors/Governance
- Infrastructure
“We are very optimistic about the future of the Central Coast and the election of a new council, post a period of administration is an opportunity to build critical momentum,” said Stuart Ayres, CEO, UDIA NSW.
Our Election Platform is a blueprint for success.
“It’s up to the Central Coast to take control of its own future under strong, focused and determined local leadership. UDIA stands ready to support a council willing to step up and meet this challenge”, said Stuart Ayres.
“Home buyers and renters on the Central Coast are feeling the pinch of the housing crisis and will be watching closely how the new council tracks against its target of 9,400 homes by 2029,” he said.
UDIA calls on candidates to commit to working with industry on these priorities for the benefit of all residents.
