A LORNE community group has finalised a decade-long study into the town’s accommodation crisis that aims to spur government agencies to implement solutions.<\/p>\n

The Committee for Lorne (CfL) released its 48-page report, titled “Accommodating Lorne’s Future” this month, which outlines the challenges and potential solutions for the coastal communities’ housing problem.<\/p>\n

Modelling an ideal target population, establishing a Lorne Community Land Trust and further investigation of the impact of short-term rentals are all ideas floated in the dossier to scope housing options for Lorne.<\/p>\n

A community land trust is an idea developed alongside University of Western Sydney that would involve non-profit organisations buying land that includes houses that are bought (or leased long term) to households, significantly lower housing costs.<\/p>\n

The report also suggests that the plan’s implementation could then become a test case for other grassroots-based housing solutions in other locations as similar problems become increasingly widespread.<\/p>\n

Accommodating Lorne’s Future follows the “Achieving Lorne’s Aspirations” document published in 2014, which CfL vice-president Peter Spring said already had housing pressure front of mind as a looming threat to Lorne.<\/p>\n

“At the time we were recognising that house prices were going up, and we reached a point where houses were not affordable for young families,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Lorne is very dependent on a seasonal workforce over summer, and there’s little in the way of accommodation available for those people.<\/p>\n

“The goal we saw for our future was we needed to be able to provide affordable housing for those people.”<\/p>\n

During formulation of the report Lorne’s housing woes have worsened, with seasonal, tourism-based businesses often unable to trade at full capacity and essential services such as health and early education impacted by due to staff shortages.<\/p>\n

Some community members have also raised fears that volunteer and community-based organisations, such as sporting clubs and fire brigades, could also be in danger if young families continue being priced out of the housing market.<\/p>\n

Mr Spring said he hoped the accommodation report would catalyse further government investment and decisions that can help alleviate housing stress.<\/p>\n

“Now we’re in a position to start talking to government at all levels and seek their support through planning changes and financial support, and to see if we can actually bring this to fruition.”<\/p>\n

Mr Spring said CfL would use the document in its ongoing discussions with Surf Coast Shire Council about the issue, which it formally acknowledged in May 2021 when it declared a short-term key-worker accommodation crisis.<\/p>\n

CfL aims to shortly publish the full report on its website: committeforlorne.org.au<\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, hard copies are available at Lorne’s Great Ocean Road Real Estate offices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
