This paper highlights key strategies to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in apartment buildings across New South Wales. While EV adoption has surged in suburban homes, the report highlights unique challenges for apartment residents and offers practical solutions to improve accessibility in high-density housing.

In 2016 Auckland implemented zoning reforms that allowed for increased density. Studies found these reforms increased housing supply and lower rents, but were disputed by some economists. This working paper responds to the critiques and concludes they are unfounded and Auckland’s reforms should be a model for other cities.

Australian housing remains some of the most expensive in the world. This report argues that current policy foundations overburden the construction and housing industry and must be addressed in order to end the housing crisis. It presents advice and recommendations, stressing the urgency of the housing situation and calling for swift and widespread regulatory reform.

This working paper tracks the development of high-density housing – namely apartments – against public transport service provision on an annual basis over a 19-year period (2003-04 to 2021-22) in Melbourne, Australia. A ‘needs-gap’ analysis is also undertaken to measure equity in public transport service provision in areas of apartment housing.

This report outlines a vision for enabling denser, more lively streetscapes across all of Melbourne. It would be achieved through the report's signature recommendation: enabling six-storey, mixed-use development on all residential land within one kilometre of a train station and 500 metres of a tram – stopbuilding an interconnected network of 1,992 high-amenity, walkable neighbourhoods.
