We developed the Social and Affordable Housing Strategy to describe Council commitments to addressing the urgent housing and homelessness issue. The Strategy includes an assessment of the need for social and affordable housing in the City of Kingston and sets out a range of strategies and actions that Council will pursue to assist households in Kingston affected by lack of affordable accommodation. 

The 'Housing First for People Sleeping Rough Practice Guide’ seeks to identify the role of Councils in supporting and enabling a Housing First approach to people experiencing homelessness in the local community.

The 2022-23 Annual Report(PDF, 12MB) was considered by Council on 23 October 2023.

Changes to our climate and increased development places pressure on every part of the water cycle.

Kingston’s Integrated Water Strategy explains our future direction, what Council will do, and what actions our community can take. It includes our goals that are focussed on:

• Using water wisely, including less drinking water (potable water) and more use of alternative water such as rainwater tanks, stormwater and recycled water;
• Protecting our waterways and Bay by reducing litter and all forms of pollution
• Improving our flood management
• Enhancing education and partnerships with our community.

The strategy outlines the vision and steps needed to become a water sensitive city by 2040.

The strategy is supported by Kingston’s Integrated Water Story - The Full Picture that provides more information about our challenges and opportunities.
