There is a continuing requirement for independent policy advice on strategic housing issues to be provided to the Minister for Housing and Works, the Authority and the Department's Director General. Housing Policy has been charged with this role and also provides a focus for the coordination of the roles and contributions of government, industry and community, as stakeholders of the State's housing agenda.
Mission
Our mission is to enable Government, the community and the housing sector to achieve quality housing outcomes by:
- providing independent advice to Government on strategic directions for housing, and
- identifying optimum policy settings, through research, consultation and communication.
