Jeremy Bath, CEO, City of Newcastle, shares insights into the historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the NSW Land and Housing Corporation and City of Newcastle council, and why all levels of government need to work together to deliver more urgently needed housing.

Listen as Jeremy explains:

• Newcastle’s "perfect storm" – the city is now significantly challenged in terms of housing affordability, with median house and apartment prices, and the median rental price, all increasing over the last 12 months, while the supply of rental accommodation has reduced
• how LAHC and CN are innovating and partnering to increase the delivery of more social housing and boost jobs - both critical priorities of government
• the features and benefits of the partnership for social housing supply, so people in need can access the right housing, in the right areas, at the right time 
• understand Jeremy’s goals for Newcastle and what success looks like partnering with LAHC
