The steering committee has decided to stand up a social and emergency housing technical working group to progress short term focus areas in parallel with the Research Project in order to achieve quick wins and maintain interest and support for the Project’s intent. This technical working group met for the first time on 16 March.
The Research Project has commenced after an assessment panel selected their preferred consultant, URBIS in March 2023.
