PPS 12 Housing in Settlements·Page 21·51

Affordable Housing Policy Approach

The current policy does not impose mandatory affordable housing requirements from private developers, but this position will be monitored and may be reviewed if circumstances deteriorate.

It is considered that it is not appropriate at present, to impose an arbitrary level of affordable housing to be delivered by the private market. This situation however will be monitored and kept under review. If the situation deteriorates Government will consider further mechanisms to address affordable housing.
