Cobram Strategy Plan Final Report − independent living units − retirement villages, which may be co-located with supported living dwellings − serviced apartments − supported residential units − residential aged care There is likely to be demand for medium density of 1-2 bedroom stock, smaller lots with manageable gardens, in both the private and public housing markets. Such housing should be provided in proximity to services and other residents, to encourage social interaction and easy access in the event of emergencies. Physically these dwellings should be flexible in terms of occupant use, contain ramps and have minimum changes in levels. 4.5 Number of Households and Household Size 4.5.1 1986 to 2006 Since 1986 to 2006 the number of households in Cobram increased by 932, representing an average of 47 per year (households are not the same as dwellings as one dwelling may have a number of households). Significant is the increase in number of households between 1996 and 2006, which recorded an increase of 677 households over this period, a trend which is consistent with the trends in population growth as shown in Section 4.3. Consistent with national trends, household size continues to decline within Cobram, and the Moira Shire, as the number of dwellings and population continues to increase. The number of one and two person households increased considerably to represent 67% of all households in Cobram in 2006, with the converse trend experienced by the four and five or more person households which declined from 34% of households in 1986 to 21% in 2006. © Coomes Consulting Group G:\13\131654\PL11 001 Strategy Plan Final Report.doc page 22

For the Moira Shire, Victoria in Future 2004 (DSE) estimates indicate a decrease in this number as per the table below. Table 7: Forecast Household Occupancy Rates, 2001 to 2006 Persons per h/hold Moira Reg Vic 2001 2006 2011 2016 2021 2031 2031 2.49 2.40 2.31 2.22 2.15 2.01 2.15 Source: DSE, Victoria in Future 2004 There has been an ongoing gradual reduction in household occupancy rates which is forecast to decrease to 2.01 persons per household by 2031 for the Moira Shire. This will create a high demand for a different form of housing from the typical detached family home that predominates in Cobram. More of the households will be one or two person households, as a consequence of an ageing population, break-up of families, and young people moving to larger towns and cities to work or study. Home ownership for a sole person is often more difficult in terms of affordability. Housing strategies for residential areas should identify areas suitable for the development of medium density housing and the potential for subdivision or conversions of older housing and industrial buildings, especially those within close proximity to the town centre. 4.6 Affordability and Tenure House prices within the Moira Shire have increased since 2002 as indicated in the table below: © Coomes Consulting Group G:\13\131654\PL11 001 Strategy Plan Final Report.doc page 23
