Please join me, Senator David Pocock and Fiona Carrick MLA for a community discussion about how we can do housing density well here in the ACT.

Canberra is growing, and more of us will live in townhouses and apartments in the years ahead. The question isn't whether our city changes — it's whether we get that change right.

How do we make sure new homes and communities are well built, affordable to live in and designed for the future? 

How do we restore confidence in apartment living, reduce building defects, improve strata management and make it easier for residents to access rooftop solar, home batteries and EV charging?

Independent representatives are co-hosting a panel discussion and Q&A with leading experts in planning, construction and sustainability about what "density done well" really looks like — and the reforms needed to build a better Canberra.

Whether you already live in an apartment or townhouse, are thinking about moving into one, or care about planning a sustainable future for Canberra, we'd love you to be part of the conversation.
