Churches Housing has been representing the church sector on the Social Panel of the Greater Sydney Commission, specifically to advocate for policies that will see social and affordable housing included across developments in Sydney. We encourage you all to register for either or both the main feedback session being held in Parramatta on the afternoon of the 9th Nov (event details below) and/or the drop in sessions being held in each of the districts (click here for more detailed information). Now is the time to have our say, so please circulate this to all you think should be there.
As we near release of the draft District Plans we invite you a workshop before the public exhibition of the draft plans posing two key questions – ‘How can we integrate social, environmental and economic outcomes as we grow?’ and ‘What are the game-changing ideas to get there?’.
At the workshop we will hear from representatives of each aspect of the triple bottom line including social, environmental and economic sectors via the Social and Environment Panels, and representatives from the business and urban development industries.
