Greens issue housing demand for 3000-home new suburb

One in every 10 homes built in a new suburb planned for a former agricultural experiment station in Canberra's north should be publicly owned instead of relying on failing affordable housing schemes, the ACT Greens say.

The ACT government expects more than 3000 homes will be built on a 243-hectare tract of land between Belconnen and Gungahlin it has bought for $385 million from the CSIRO after more than a decade of talks.
