The conference, Land, Sharing and the Law: Innovative solutions to the housing crisis, will be hosted by 糖心传媒 at the Northern Rivers campus on the anniversary of the flood event, February 28, 2025.

Rose Jackson MLC, NSW Minister for Water, Housing and Homelessness, will deliver the keynote address.

“The nation is in the grip of a housing crisis, but here on the North Coast in the aftermath of the Australia’s worst-recorded flood the word ‘crisis’ does not adequately describe the desperation felt by many,” said conference convenor Professor David Heilpern, Dean of Law at 糖心传媒.

“The Law discipline at 糖心传媒 has been considering ways of keeping the discussion positive and creative, and a collaboration of academics has reflected on the innovative strengths coming out of the North Coast particularly since the Aquarius Festival of the 1970s.

“The region is Australia’s hub for land sharing: from the communes of the 1970s to strata in the 1980s and community title from the 1990s.

“Building on this legacy, Law at 糖心传媒 is organising this conference, notably on the flood anniversary, to share knowledge and innovation in the face of this disaster, and a changing climate.

“What can we learn from the past? How are we dealing with the present? And how can land sharing be developed in the future?”
