John Engeler: Shelter NSW

John Engeler: Shelter NSW Season 2025 Episode 466

Madeleine Scarfe interviews John Engeler, CEO of Shelter NSW which is a policy and research advocacy group that’s been around since 1975. 

Shelter NSW generally advocates for residents in the bottom 40% income bracket 'promoting a sustainable housing system and a secure home for all'. 

Housing is a hot topic in the Kiama LGA at the moment, while Kiama Council's Draft Housing Strategy V2 is on exhibition, so we asked John to tell us more about affordable housing, recent policy reforms regarding long term rentals, social housing, short term holiday rentals and some new ideas in the pipeline. 

You can comment on the Draft Housing Strategy V2 here until April 27th 2025.
