Affordable Housing Policy

Ku-ring-gai Council recognises the urgent need for affordable housing, particularly for key workers and individuals with lower to moderate incomes who have demonstrated connections to the Ku-ring-gai local area. Council is committed to developing housing solutions that prioritise these residents, ensuring they have access to stable and secure homes.

This Policy guides Council's approach to providing affordable housing for the community. Particularly for moderate-income key workers and those with a connection to the local area. The policy defines Council’s role to advocate for affordable housing.

Ku-ring-gai Council is dedicated to increasing the range and supply of affordable housing to meet the evolving needs of our residents. This policy outlines Council’s principles and approach, sets specific targets for affordable housing and ensuring a consistent and transparent process for receiving contributions from industry to achieve this goal.

Ku-ring-gai Council first adopted an Affordable Housing Policy on 15 April 2025. Minor amendments were made to align with the Affordable Housing Contributions Scheme adopted by Council on 21 October 2025 following public exhibition.
