Next steps for housing action in Wagga
Thanks to everyone who’s attended our two housing forums in Wagga, the turn-out and enthusiasm have exceeded our expectations.
The forums have identified both immediate actions and longer-term structural changes needed to address homelessness and housing insecurity in Wagga. You can read a summary of the ideas from the first forum here (summary of the second forum coming soon). We also used the ideas from the first forum as the basis for a submission to the Senate Select Committee on Intergenerational Housing Inequity. You can read our submission here.
It is clear that Wagga has people, resources, and goodwill and we now need to organise that energy into further action. A number of actions are already underway and a coordination team is being formed to plan further actions and forums.
To be kept informed about further events and developments regarding housing in Wagga please use the housing updates sign up form.
If you’re not in Wagga and would like to work with us on getting people together in your town to talk about housing, or another local issue, please contact us at info@togetherforriverina.org.
Putting people before politics
Together for Riverina exists to make democracy something everyone can reach, shape, and feel part of.
We are an entirely volunteer-run community organisation of committed everyday people who care deeply about how our region is represented. And for the record: we’re not aligned with any political party.
With the Riverina electorate stretching from Lockhart to Crookwell, Cowra to Tumbarumba and Yass to Temora, our communities find themselves needing to be linked in new ways. So we’ve come together across postcodes, paddocks and priorities to look for fresh ideas for the future.
Our work builds on the wisdom shared in Kitchen Table Conversations held in the Riverina and the Yass Valley during 2020–2021. Sure, the world has shifted since then, but the need for us to come together to speak for our local communities has only become clearer.
Join us, and together we can shape what comes next.
