Affordable housing projects continue to be touted as something that are making inroads, albeit small, into the housing affordability crisis.

One of the newest additions is The Platform apartments in Eveleigh, Sydney, right on the doorstep of Carriageworks. The 88-unit development was completed last month and is reserved for key workers in low and medium income households. The Platform was built by City West, a developer established to build affordable housing in the City of Sydney local government area.

According to www.news.com.au

Key workers are being defined as people who hold a position that is essential to the city’s operations. But essentially, it’s pretty much a ‘normal’ job. City West chief executive Janelle Goulding said key workers can be a probationary police constable, a fireman or a cadet journalist. She said key workers in the new development include cleaners, childcare centre workers and retail workers.
