Urbis has been engaged to assist in the affordable housing evidence base for the Arden Urban Renewal Precinct by assembling a research base to inform options for delivery. This is a two-fold, staged exercise that looks to provide a source of information for precedential policies, strategies, and the legislation both nationally and around the world, and also gives context to the financial feasibility constraints of different levels of affordable housing delivery. Each report contains the following:

• Report One: Affordable Housing Research Base – Preparing a detailed research exercise that explores the options for delivery, considers pros and cons, and shortlists the ones for detailed feasibility testing – including setting out a strategy of how to test them and ensure they can be delivered. This will provide an evidence base in pursuit of the preferred options.

• Report Two: Detailed Feasibility of Options for Arden – Undertaking detailed feasibility testing on the preferred options within the context of the development economics applicable in Arden to understand their potential application in practice.
