CASE STUDY: CITY OF MELBOURNE AFFORDABLE ...

The City of Melbourne views affordable housing as crucial infrastructure for maintaining a liveable, inclusive, and prosperous city. With a projected shortfall of 23,200 affordable homes by 2036, immediate action is needed to address this long-standing issue. While there is broad community support for affordable housing, acceptance often wanes at the neighbourhood level. To tackle this, a People’s Panel of 39 diverse community members was established to represent local perspectives.

CASE STUDY: DYING WELL COMMUNITY PANEL

CASE STUDY: DYING WELL COMMUNITY PANEL

This case study flashes us back to late 2018 - to a time when we could meet face-to-face. Representatives of groups most impacted by end-of-life care came together to discuss and come to shared agreement over a very complex, challenge issue - what does dying well look like and how can we help people achieve this?

The learnings and insights from this process are as applicable now as they were then, and the participants have shared some wonderfully candid reflections on their deliberative journey.
