ACT Government Targets 26,000 New Homes

ACT government aims to build 26,000 new homes in five years—nearly 4,300 this year—to meet rising demand, with 88% being multi-unit dwellings. Focused on releasing new land in Molonglo and Macnamara while boosting density in existing suburbs via planning reforms, the plan faces criticism over the lack of single-family homes and calls for more housing diversity. To address affordability and supply, officials are promoting “missing middle” housing and reserving land for public and affordable housing, betting on a mix of land releases and private development to succeed.
