A good example of an opportunity to ensure housing outcomes in none contested space in Yarra gone begging because the Greens and Purple Party put heritage before homes. @yimbymelbourne
Agree & underutilized church buildings present a useful testing ground for possible approaches
There is a genuine discussion to be had about what heritage should be protected and who/how pays for it. But this approach of not considering the costs or benefits must end.
And this is to say nothing about how funds from this sale could actually support the Uniting Church meeting existing heritage obligations in other places.
A significant part of the heritage conversation needs to be about who gets to determine the meaning of heritage. It is baffling that the active keepers of the tradition are not the ones who decide the meaning of our buildings' heritage. //
Protecting an old building and undermining increased housing access is in direct contradiction to the heritage of the Uniting Church. Our social service agency Uniting Vic/Tas is working hard to advocate for increased housing supply, particularly for those most in need. +
@yimbymelbourne are absolutely right here! As a member of the Uniting Church (though obviously not a spokesperson) the heritage of the Church is protected when justice is done: when access to housing is increased. +
Whilst @CityofDarebin may have good intentions, who benefits from protecting an empty church from being turned into housing? Who benefits when we force Uniting Church to foot the bill to maintain an unused delapating asset? 🧵 theage.com.au/national/victo…
She then goes on to say commercial on the floor grounds is not neccessary and is not feasible in every building. Shadows will only be present in the late afternoon, and they think steps are a better design outcome.
Merri-bek April Planning Meeting 🧵 Just one item on the agenda tonight, but it's a fairly big one; 245 dwellings proposed across two buildings at 1 Champ Street - inside Pentridge Prison. It however faces strong headwinds.
You can read the full submission at the link below: everybodyshome.com.au/wp-content/upl…
Small local government areas combined with our electoral systems means that renters are disenfranchised and denied a voice in many of Australia's cities:
Exclusionary consultation practices across our governments and our housing agencies lead to unrepresentative results:
Upzoning is necessary, but not sufficient to solve the housing crisis alone:
We're excited to share our submission to @_EverybodysHome led People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis 👇
''The @yimbymelbourne report was “more formidable” and “impressive” than a similar one he authored in 2023, which recommended new housing targets for the affluent inner and eastern suburbs in NSW.'' says @peter_tulip Read the article⬇️ theguardian.com/australia-news…
Open up the east.
Today, we release our brand new report: Missing Middle Housing Targets. Our policy gives Councils a clear choice: let more homes get built and get paid, or refuse to do your part and get penalised. To end our housing crisis, that's the kind of accountability we need.
@stephenjolly99 That is false. YIMBYs talk about distribution a lot. A major objective of building more housing is to transfer income from wealthy landowners to lower income tenants. x.com/peter_tulip/st…
@joneastgate Lots of evidence shows that extra supply especially helps those at the bottom, including the homeless. Among the biggest beneficiaries of Auckland's liberalisation were renters in the bottom quartile. x.com/peter_tulip/st…
Our Housing Targets report is out today, and once again the YIMBY Melbourne team has outdone themselves. Our demand-based model shows where new housing is most needed and most wanted. Our housing targets will keep Councils accountable to ensuring those homes get built.

YIMBY Melbourne have released a report recommending that most of Yarra be upzoned to 6 storeys. What do you think?
