This year, however, BCEC will run a fifth series which will be led by the Centre’s Deputy Director, Associate Professor Rachel Ong who will discuss the topic of Housing Affordability in Western Australia.

This series, and topic represents a timely follow up to the Centre’s recently released report, launched June 7 and titled Focus on Western Australia – Keeping a Roof over our Heads: BCEC Housing Affordability Report 2016
