Moray Council approves Local Housing Strategy for 2025–2030
Moray Council has approved its Local Housing Strategy for 2025–2030, setting out how the council and its partners will tackle housing challenges across the area.
The plan focuses on increasing housing supply, improving the condition and energy efficiency of homes, preventing homelessness and ensuring housing supports health and wellbeing.
It was developed in collaboration with local organisations, housing providers and community groups and shaped by early input from residents. The plan reflects a wide range of views and priorities across Moray aiming to achieve the vision of ‘In Moray everyone has access to the right home, in the right place at the right time’.
Key areas of focus include building more homes to support sustainable communities and economic growth; making better use of existing homes to prevent homelessness and improve housing choice; strengthening partnership working to support health and wellbeing; and improving property condition and affordable warmth across all homes.
A public consultation on the draft plan received 70 responses, with overall feedback showing strong support for the proposed priorities and actions.
Councillor Amber Dunbar, Chair of Moray Council’s Housing and Community Safety Committee, said: “Moray’s new Local Housing Strategy sets out a clear plan for how we’ll work with partners to improve housing across the area to achieve our vision. The feedback we received through the consultation helped make sure the plan reflects the priorities and experiences of people across Moray. I’d like to thank everyone who has taken the time to share their views.”
