Over the past year, Shelter NSW has been reviewing and making submissions on over 30 Local Strategic Planning Statements and Local Housing Strategies across regional NSW. In undertaking this review, we found that about a third of the population in regional centres were 55 and over, with many of these older residents living alone but in large dwellings. It was clear that these residents had limited housing choice available, as stand-alone dwellings make up over 95% of the existing housing stock. Despite this existing mismatch between housing need and supply, new development in these regional centres remained focused on rezoning rural land to deliver more stand along dwellings at the town fringe. This means that ageing residents will continue to have limited housing options to age in place, creating significant problems for older residents who don\u2019t own a home.
On recognising this real and growing issue, Shelter NSW began seeking possible solutions and found an exemplar in Housing Plus (a Community housing provider located in NSW Central West) whose developments deliver affordable homes for older residents. For example, their Havannah and Baille Street developments in Bathurst which will deliver 20 such homes that offer a real solution for older residents to age in place as well as addressing other local housing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
