The Housing Matters Action Group are locals working on affordable housing solutions. We need affordable, secure, accessible and environmentally responsible housing throughout the Bellingen and Nambucca Shires and right across the North Coast of NSW.

Everyone needs a safe, secure and affordable place to call home.

Community Land Trust

We are very pleased to share that the Siddle Family Foundation (SFF) has decided to fund our Bellingen Shire Community Land Trust (CLT) Establishment Project!

As many of you are aware, one of the longest-running and significant pieces of work that we have focused on since our inception in 2017 has been the development of a CLT in the Bellingen Shire.

Get Involved

The Housing Matters Action Group (HMAG) has 300 members with a core group of 30 active volunteers who really make things happen. Our membership is a mix of interested community members, representatives from relevant government and non-government organisations and interested people with expertise from across the housing system.

Volunteers are the driving force behind our Working Groups and Events. Their commitment and dedication speak to the care we have for each other as a community and our ability to make change when we work together.

Resources

We create accessible resources to enable individuals and communities to develop their own housing solutions. Our collection includes fact sheets and case studies on a wide range of innovative housing models and local projects. You’ll also find links to key documents, such as our advocacy platform, submissions, policies, proposals, and work plans. Although Housing Matters does not offer case management or crisis support, we do provide a limited number of programs aimed at unlocking local housing solutions. For more information, feel free to contact us.
