This project establishes an evidence base and framework to support a transition to circular economy housing in Australia. Informed by analysis of national and international data, industry and building site practice, and key informant sources, it interrogates four key housing issues; neighbourhood scale developments; apartments; retrofit, and; building materials.

The project is being led by Prof Ralph Horne at RMIT. A/Prof Hazel Easthope at City Futures is leading the sub-project on apartment development and retrofit, which you can read about here.

More information about the inquiry project and sub-projects is available here.
