This research looked at why people move between urban and regional Australia, and identified the social, economic, demographic and policy factors driving these population shifts. Apart from 2013, since 2007 more people have moved from capital cities than to them. The report concludes that policies to attract regional migration can be improved.

This research examines housing trends and the processes of delivering affordable housing supply in rural and regional Australia. A clear research finding is the need for government action to ‘unfreeze’ rural and regional housing markets, making substantial investments and interventions in regional housing markets and developing stronger supply chains for rural and regional housing.

This research investigates how Australia can supply new and retrofit older apartments so that they are sustainable - that is, they are comfortable; deliver cost reductions for householders, while minimising consumption and waste; and maximise energy efficiencies and energy management, both in their construction and throughout their lifecycle.

This report reviews the evidence-base about factors impacting and shaping rental investment. It also reviews the state of residential tenancies laws across Australia, and presents options for a renewed reform agenda.

This report brings together three separate research projects to examine the capacity of Australia’s smaller cities to assist in managing population growth, including international and national migration. It also provides advice on which policy instruments and programs are most likely to redirect population movements to these places.
