Affordable Housing

340 The Hon. R.A. SIMMS ().10 April 2024). Can the Minister for Planning advise:

1. Over the last 10 years, how many affordable houses and units have been built under the affordable housing overlay?

2. Over the last 10 years, how many affordable houses and units were due to be built under the affordable housing overlay that have not yet been constructed, or are unlikely to be constructed?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): The Minister for Housing and Urban Development has advised:

1. The affordable housing overlay has only been in place since March 2021.

Prior to this, affordable housing was in the previous planning system through a range of inclusionary zones.

Since the commencement of South Australia's Affordable Homes Program and inclusionary zoning planning provisions in 2007, more than 5,100 affordable housing outcomes have been delivered, generating over $1 billion in new housing.

2. There have been commitments to build 3,704 houses and units that have not yet been constructed. This includes houses and units which have been earmarked for future development in housing projects in a staged process.
