When the different local authorities were before the committee some, though not all of them, brought up the issue of the pipeline of land they have for social and affordable housing. Some stated that their pipeline of land is running out and will run out in the next few years. Some also stated they simply cannot compete with private developers to acquire zoned development land. They simply get out-bid. What can be done to address that? What is the Department looking at doing to address that?
