The report, commissioned by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI), was authored by a team of researchers and institutions, including the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia.
The ‘Planning for a Two-Tenure Future’ report delves into the evolving landscape of housing preferences in Australia, highlighting the increasing complexity of the tenure structure.
It underscores the enduring aspiration for home ownership, while acknowledging the challenges faced by renters, particularly in the private rental sector.
