Regional communities across Australia are leading the way in developing innovative housing solutions alongside the renewable energy rollout.

Our report 'How Australia’s shift to renewable energy can deliver beneficial outcomes for regional housing' highlights examples from NSW, Victoria and Queensland where local councils, communities and renewable energy companies are working together to turn temporary workforce accommodation into long-term housing assets.

While celebrating these locally-led case studies, the report also explores the common barriers to implementing better housing outcomes through renewable energy development and stresses that local communities and renewable energy companies cannot overcome these barriers without state and federal government support.

With thousands of workers required in the regions for renewable energy and transmission projects, rural and regional communities have a unique opportunity to turn short-term demand into long-term housing supply.

We hosted an online briefing to bring some of this work to life. You can watch the recording of the session here.
