Amid Australia’s housing crisis that is contributing to significant levels of housing stress particularly among low-income earners, the University of South Australia has appointed its first Chair in Regional Housing and Planning. Former Managing Director of Housing Choices Australia, Professor Michael Lennon has been a leading figure in housing and planning and joins UniSA with 30 years of experience in senior roles in executive management, governance and policy development. Prof Lennon, who is also the Deputy Chair of the Federal Government’s Interim National Housing Supply and Affordability Council, has provided high-level counsel to governments across all tiers, regularly leading or providing input to a wide range of inquiries and advisory bodies.
