Project information

Central Coast Council has developed a Draft Council Affordable Housing Land (CAHL) Proposal which is currently on Exhibition.

This proposal has been drafted as a framework for identifying Council land sites for affordable housing developments.
The CAHL Proposal is a recommended action of the Central Coast Affordable and Alternative Housing Strategy (CCA&AHS) specifically linked to the direct creation of affordable housing. Research undertaken during the Strategy development found an additional 7,300 households on the Central Coast will be in need of affordably priced housing. However, since the 2020 Pandemic it is predicted these figures could be higher due to an influx of new residents through increased inward migration and job losses from the effect of the state government restrictions.


The CAHL Proposal outlines:

  • The process for identifying Council sites that could be potentially utilised for affordable housing.
  • the benefits of the proposal
  • benchmarks, tenure mix and design
  • procurement and potential partnership options to provide the best financial and social outcomes for the community and Council

We know that our community is very interested in the provision of affordable housing and we are seeking input from our community to ensure the framework for developing affordable housing on Council owned sites reflect what current and future users want to see.
