Decentralisation and Housing Plans in Victoria
The Victorian Housing Commission warns that a material shortage could delay 8000 homes on the Heidelberg estate before 1947. Over 170 houses are finished and 586 are under construction there, while about 930 more houses will be built on Glen Iris and Ashburton sites. The decentralisation policy aims to shift growth from metropolises to country centres, despite potential political and practical obstacles.
