Matthew Guy's nine-step plan to addressing housing affordability in Melbourne

He says affordable living could be addressed by:

1. Increasing housing supply;
2. Reducing the cost of building;
3. Reducing barriers to affordable housing development;
4. Preserving or offsetting the loss of existing low-cost housing;
5. Encouraging new affordable housing with planning scheme controls or incentives;
6. Securing dedicated social housing – housing rented at below market cost;
7. Increasing the number of jobs in suburban areas, to reduce commuting distances and times for suburban residents;
8. Reducing the need to own a second car and even any car per household by improving cycling, walking and public transport options; and
9. Other incentives to integrate affordable housing into new developments.
