From mixed tenure development to mixed tenure neighbourhoods
This study examines the opportunities for, and benefits of, mixed tenure (MT) housing developments in Australia, and in particular how to deliver successful mixed tenure outcomes at a neighbourhood scale.
MT developments have been criticised as short-term responses to existing social and planning issues that fail to leverage potentials for larger-scale positive effects over the longer term.
The research, ‘From mixed tenure development to mixed tenure neighbourhoods’, is published by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) and is authored by Lee-Anne Khor, Monash University; Liz Taylor, Monash University; Stephen Glackin, Swinburne University; Steven Rowley, Curtin University; Stefan Siebel, Monash University; Daniela Tinios, Monash University and Rashed Azizi, Monash University.
Key Points
- Mixed tenure (MT) outcomes are variable. Success measures differ for various stakeholders, locations and project types.
- Redeveloping smaller social housing assets and delivering a mix of different tenures (including market housing) could significantly increase social housing supply.
- The appropriate mix of tenures (social housing, affordable, market) depends on land values, available funding, project scale and tenant characteristics.
- The research estimates there are 12,000 social housing assets in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne that could be redeveloped as mixed tenure neighbourhoods to deliver more than 40,000 medium density dwellings across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
