Abstract
Recently, affordable housing has become an issue of considerable concern in Australia. Governments at all levels, together with public
housing authorities and social welfare organizations have expressed concern about the affordability of housing for people on low incomes
and first-home buyers. To varying degrees, these same organizations are also concerned about sustainability. While a considerable amount
of research has been under.taken into affordable housing, much of it has been directed at housing policy, models of financing, planning
regulations, land supply, infrastructure funding and taxation. Little has been written about the role of design in the provision of affordable
and sustainable housing, though design is one of many factors influencing these critical issues. Design is a key factor in affordability
and sustainability. This Note addresses design strategies that will assist in the delivery of affordable and sustainable housing
in Australia. Necessarily, it also addresses potential conflicts between afJordability and sustainability. The Note concludes by
presenting winning designs from the 2005 Vic Urban Affordable Home Design Competition.
