Image
Adorning the entryway of a structure in downtown Melbourne is a shiny art piece featuring a deep night sky filled with shining stars. Maybe it states that this is a spot where one can once more embrace dreams – or perhaps achieve a restful night’s slumber.

Renamed Make Room, this edifice now consists of 50 residences designed for individuals previously facing homelessness. Prior to its refurbishment, the building served as a storage facility for the City of Melbourne. Inside those vacant spaces, old parade floats and relics from previous Moomba Festivals gathered dust, occupying what had become an unused area. Amidst the ongoing housing crisis, with numerous commercial properties standing idle, the Make Room initiative presents itself as a plan to transform these underused structures into livable homes and simultaneously reduce carbon footprints.

Trapped Between Promise and Paradise: Life on Australia’s Housing Frontier

Image
The major parties have decided on a solution to Australia's housing crisis: build more homes. But some of the country's newest suburbs suggest it's not as straightforward as it seems. The homes emerge from the verdant slopes in neat rows: robust and jagged, constructed of brick and concrete. Miniature bicycles and scooters are sprinkled across mown lawns and shoes piled in front of doors that gape open to the street.

Driving towards the developments, a street sign declares "Cowpasture Road", a nod to the area's former life. Now the region is amongst the fastest growing in the country and an example of what both major party leaders see as an answer to Australia's entrenched housing dilemma. L...
