In short: The Victorian Government has proposed new housing targets for local councils, in a bid to significantly boost the state's housing stock.

It's planning to build 2 million new homes by 2051 to keep up with demands of the growing populations.

What's next? The state government will consult with councils and release the final targets for new dwellings later this year.

I look forward to 2051 when there's more houses we can't afford.
