The Shire of Nannup is proud to announce the release of its draft Age Friendly (Seniors) Housing Strategy 2025-2035, exploring the need for age-appropriate housing enabling transition for the current and future population.
The Shire of Nannup’s Seniors Housing Strategy provides a foundation to understanding the key housing issues and opportunities for all residents. These include:
- A mismatch between housing stock e.g. predominately large homes in supply and smaller homes in demand
- The need to increase housing density in the town centre precinct, whereby facilities, services and amenities are within short walking distance (i.e. 800m to a neighbourhood centre is equivalent to a 10min walk)
- The need for smaller block sizes to ensure Nannup continues to be sustainable in land use planning within the bounds of constraints such as forested areas, waterways and agricultural areas.
- Affordable living options for a range of low to moderate income households (Social Housing and Affordable Housing).
- Universal access housing designed to be practical and flexible, accommodating people of all ages and abilities throughout their lives
- Compact houses with low maintenance, to enable flexibility of use i.e. lock up and leave, and short stay accommodation for larger scale events.
