Representation Summary:

Generally support the increased housing target as it confirms to the Government's objectives to increase housing supply. However, concern that the housing target does not properly represent the full extent of housing need: the reduction of stated needs of 348 dpa to 280 dpa based on tests of underlying trends. Suggest that using 348 dpa as a baseline before applying the proposed 36% increase would be a more appropriate methodology. This would result in a housing need of 473 dpa or 9,466 over 20 year. This also reflects the projections emerging from the government proposed standard housing needs methodology.
