Macedon Ranges Shire endorsed its Gisborne Futures plan, drawing a boundary that excludes Intrapac's 1,400-lot Glen Junor proposal on about 80 hectares, leaving roughly 60 one-acre lots. Max Shifman says the housing crisis demands compact, diverse homes; the site could instead become a new community for Gisborne's growth.
As I told the ABC: “We're in a housing crisis,”
I also said: “We're talking about creating greater diversity of housing, including more compact options for people downsizing or trying to get into the market.”
And I added: “It's going to mean a worse quality of life for people in Gisborne,”
I went on to say: “Or we can turn it into a brand-new community which caters for the future growth of Gisborne properly.”
I also made the point: “It can either be really expensive housing for 60-odd people on large lots.”
