## Resource

The ACT government is proposing significant changes to the Territory Plan, aiming to build thirty thousand new homes by 2030. The plan allows missing middle housing, such as townhouses and low-rise apartments, on most residential blocks. This shift is expected to offer more housing options for various life stages and is part of a gradual, decades-long transformation. The government is also reviewing tax policies, like the Lease Variation Charge, to encourage these developments. Public consultations are ongoing, with responses expected by July.
