Jan 20 		RAD Housing Presentation – Rewind Sound and Studios

A 90 minute workshop on one possible model to build housing collectives that focus on retrofitting housing for the climate crisis, while also contributing to the decommodification of housing for public good.

The goal of Retrofit and Decommodify (RAD) housing is to collectively acquire, retrofit, and decommodify existing suburban housing so that we, and others, can live in resilient and affordable housing.

The RAD housing project offers one small way to contribute to prefiguring better futures by providing opportunities to live collectively in ways that help us to practice commoning and act in solidarity with more radical movements for change.

The RAD housing members are currently visiting from Naarm, and keen to take this opportunity to transfer some of their learnings to the community here, to aid in similar and related efforts.

Jun 27 		National Rental Summit: The Missing Middle – Flinders University City Campus

The Don Dunstan Foundation’s 2025 housing symposium will focus on an area of growing policy concern – renting. This year’s theme -  The Missing Middle - recognises the growing role of renting in Australia’s housing mix and will address all aspects of renting – from the public and community housing sector, to the private rental market, to innovations in renting such as build-to-rent projects.

As the title suggests, we’ll be examining the “missing middle” in rentals – people who don’t qualify for public housing, but who are struggling to afford good housing in the private rental market.  

The CEO of Housing Australia, Scott Langford, will present the keynote address, providing a national perspective and we’re assembling panels of experts from the housing sector (private and public), researchers and industry experts, people with lived experience, and government decision-makers.    The panels at the one-day event will address, among other topics: 

·    The scope of housing need: the problem, gaps, and the lived experience.

·    How are we going to build the houses?

·    What will these communities look like? 

The event will include a working lunch and networking drinks at the end of the day.
