Housing Shortage in Murray Bridge 'Opportunity' Not Crisis - Podcast with Mayor Lewis

Murray Bridge businesses plan to hire at least 700 extra workers next year, but due to a significant rental housing shortage and long delays in the construction industry, workers may find themselves with nowhere to live.

The Murraylands Food Alliance and Business Murray Bridge have been surveying workers about their current situations. Council will use the results to help prioritise the development of a worker housing strategy.

Rural City of Murray Bridge Mayor Brenton Lewis says the issue presents more of an opportunity than a crisis. He joins Jennie Lenman to explain.
