I presume all the associations welcome the abolition of the strategic housing development, SHD, process, and build-to-rent and co-living developments. The development plan, which is our strategic planning, was mentioned. The frustration the witnesses expressed is very real because they make submissions and engage in a very lengthy process, yet none of their proposals are reflected in the final document. The public officials were mentioned. What can be done to improve engagement by residents, citizens and renters in the development plan process? The city councillors and county councillors own the plan. Is that where the disconnect lies? Is it between residents and tenants and councillors or is it somewhere else?
