Nothing is more important than secure housing
A Labor Council would make housing the top priority for Eurobodalla.
Mayoral candidate Sharon Winslade said she was continually hearing stories from local residents who have been priced out of the housing market.
"We still have families searching for a stable home since losing their properties to bushfire. Older women all across the Eurobodalla are concerned about the lack of smaller properties to rent, especially women living alone. There are not enough accessible properties for people with disabilities."
"AND we need a steady supply of additional housing to meet the growing tourism, health and aged care workforces, notably in Moruya as the new hospital is built."
"Planning for housing is a bread-and-butter issue of council and Eurobodalla Council needs to address this urgently."
Labor will involve local residents in planning to accommodate our current and future needs, and will learn from the affordable housing actions taken by Bega Valley Shire.
