Council debates housing schemes amid Sunshine shortage
Council rejects the President's housing plan amid calls from Dr. Deurent and others to address a dwelling shortage. Critics argue finance and land access are the core hurdles, while proponents urge municipal action or government involvement to remove investor stigma and aid ratepayers.
