How Do We Make Victoria More Affordable?

How can we make Victoria a place more people can afford to call home? Join us for an engaging community conversation about housing affordability, why we struggle to build enough homes, and what we can do differently.

 

We’ll explore how local taxes and development costs affect housing prices, and practical alternatives that could make a real difference. Whether you’re a renter, homeowner, or simply concerned about Victoria’s future, everyone is welcome.

 

No expertise needed, just curiosity!
