Quotes attributable to ACT Greens Deputy Leader Jo Clay in response to the ACT Labor Government's media statement saying consultation has found Canberrans are supportive of missing middle housing reforms:
It's about time the ACT Labor Government listens to what the community has been asking for over the past few years.
People have been loud and clear that they want more housing choice - townhouses, low rise units, terrace houses - and near the things they need for the lifestyle they want.
in 2023 the ACT Greens announced our policy to deliver missing middle because Labor spent five years working on a planning review that didn't deliver the reform our community wants and needs.
With Greens holding the balance of power in Parliament, we pushed Labor to get on with this work, consult with the community and agree to set city limits because we can build more, high quality homes without paving over nature.
