About local area analyses (LAAs)

How we’re working together

Homes NSW is building relationships to fund the development of even more properties.

We create opportunities to collaborate with government and the Aboriginal Housing Office, and partner with industry, developers and community housing providers. This lets us use our collective strengths to innovate and accelerate a sustainable supply of housing.

We’re also using data to better understand the needs of the people and families we assist, to design and deliver housing that is right for them.

The local area analyses (LAAs) are one of the ways we’re using data, so that we can better understand the opportunities in our portfolio and plan for the future.

Purpose of LAAs

The purpose of a local area analysis (LAA) is to deliver on the long-term vision set out in the portfolio strategy for Homes NSW.

Our LAAs are a tool to support and encourage collaboration. They use a place-based approach, providing a framework and direction to better understand:

what stock we have
where stock is located
the stock condition
what opportunities are available for redevelopment.

How to use LAAs

The analyses are a vital source of data that enables all areas of government and our industry partners to work together to plan and deliver more social housing for people who need it. They are intended to stimulate discussion and the sharing of ideas. Each analysis provides an overview of our housing stock in the local government area (LGA), including:

household sizes
number of bedrooms
housing types
age of the stock
demand.

More information about Homes NSW's role

We seek to link the NSW Government’s objectives for social housing, more localised planning and development decision-making, and opportunities for partnerships with councils, industry and the community housing sector. The views of all our stakeholders are important to us and Homes NSW is committed to continuing collaboration with our stakeholders and the community.

Homes NSW's purpose is to actively grow and manage the largest social housing portfolio in Australia. Delivering housing is much more than providing people with a roof over their head. Having access to safe housing assists people to pursue health, education and employment opportunities, allowing them to thrive and strengthen the communities where we live.

Our vision is to be an industry leader in providing well-designed social housing that is affordable, safe, well-located and adequately maintained – facilitating better quality of life outcomes for residents and neighbourhoods. There are many views about how to best deliver social housing for the people of NSW.

We welcome collaboration from our key stakeholders, including councils, community housing providers, tenants, private industry and the broader community.

We welcome all stakeholders and look forward to collaborative partnerships that will see an increase in and acceleration of the supply of the right types of housing, in the right areas, at the right time, for people in need.
