Campbelltown Local Housing Strategy

Campbelltown in Adelaide’s north-east faces the challenge of accommodating a growing and changing population while protecting the character and liveability of its established neighbourhoods. With housing affordability under pressure, Council appointed Jensen PLUS to prepare a Local Housing Strategy to guide future housing development and provide greater choice for residents.

Working with David Snoswell Property Advisory and BRM Advisory, Jensen PLUS led a process of housing research, supply and demand analysis, scenario testing and stakeholder engagement. An innovative element was the production of video interviews capturing the experiences and aspirations of local residents, helping to bring a human perspective to complex housing challenges and inform the Strategy’s directions.

The Strategy establishes four goals: liveable and climate-ready housing, improved housing affordability, housing for all ages and abilities, and the right housing in the right places. Practical actions include encouraging smaller and more affordable homes, supporting diverse housing options, identifying suitable locations for higher-density development and improving neighbourhood amenity.

Finalised in 2026 following community consultation, the Strategy provides Council with a practical framework for managing housing growth while supporting sustainable and liveable neighbourhoods.
