Research Question What are the governmentalities of affordable housing policies in non-metropolitan Australia and how are these policies mediated by local government?
Govern rnmentality ty A governmentality approach identifies the rationalities behind strategies adopted to enhance the productivity of populations, as well as the various ‘technologies’ employed to achieve desired outcomes (Lucas, 2011). What d t does es go gover ernmen entality o offer er t this r resea earch? It provides an avenue to explore the link between policy and practice at the microlevel and investigate ‘potential disjuncture between top-down, universalistic plans and empirical reality’ (Bang & Esmark, 2010). Linking go g gover ernmen entality to to this r resea earch: Problematisation = lack of affordable housing Rationality = increase supply of affordable housing through land use planning systems Technologies = affordable housing policies ARC Linkage Project: LP150100160

Expec ected ed O Outcom omes This research will: • build on existing kno nowledg dge by providing a non-metropolitan perspective to existing scholarship on affordable housing, governance, governmentality, local government, policy development and implementation in non- metropolitan Australia. • provide a theoretic ical contrib ibutio ion to governmentality literature, by providing an Australian perspective and applying a realist governmentality approach in an affordable housing context. • provide practical contrib ibutio ion, that will furnish academics, policymakers and state/local government with a clear understanding of current governance structures and their impact on affordable housing policy in non- metropolitan Australia and how it is working in the “real world”.
