Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee Inquiry
National Shelter recognises that the Defence divestment program affects multiple sites across Australia. While this submission uses Victoria Barracks as a detailed case study, our approach is principles-based and is intended to be applied across all sites, where appropriate, based on a range of factors. In practice, each site will need to be assessed on its own merits, including its particular circumstances and opportunities, local housing needs, market conditions, geography, heritage and environmental constraints, local policy settings, and adjacent opportunities created by other planning decisions or public and private investment.
