Preview the big stories from this report

With new independent research and case studies from our work with over 300 local communities across Australia, we show how local area information is being used to help everyone - from developers to councils, housing providers to resident groups - to better understand the unique housing needs and opportunities in their area.

New research

This report shares independent research from our national datasets;

Community views: Exclusive findings from our 2024 Living in Australia survey shows access to affordable, decent housing is the #1 barrier to advancing Australians quality of life

Population forecasts: Independent analysis shows Australia growing by 8.9 million people by 2046, with two-thirds of that growth concentrated in our four largest cities.

Residential development: Our detailed research into the residential development pipeline reveals over one-third of housing in our major capitals will be built more than 30km from city centres, challenging assumptions about urban densification.
