Landholder Invitation to discussion on proposed AHCS

In October 2023, impacted landholders were contacted to seek early input on this proposition. Following this feedback, the proposal was pursued, and in March 2024, the Councillors resolved to support the draft Affordable Housing Scheme.

On 26 June 2024, a letter was sent to affected landholders regarding the introduction of an Affordable Housing Contribution Scheme and advising that a period of public consultation would soon commence.

Landholders were invited to a meeting at Lismore City Council’s Corporate Centre to gain a comprehensive understanding of the scheme and ensure they were able to make submissions during the public consultation period. The meetings were facilitated by an independent town planner and Lismore City Council planning staff were on hand to answer questions.

Meetings were held on Thursday, 17 July, 5:30pm – 7:30pm, and Friday, 18 July, 11:00am – 1:00pm. Virtual attendance options were also provided to accommodate all interested parties.
