Port Stephens Council predicts a 20,000-person population increase by 2041, requiring 11,000 new dwellings. The Tomaree Peninsula, Raymond Terrace, and Medowie are expected to grow significantly, each anticipating more than 5000 people and 2000 homes. Currently, the housing supply falls short, with a projected shortfall of 4000 homes by 2041. The draft local housing strategy suggests a mix of townhouses, apartments, and shop-top units around rejuvenated town centers, greenfield developments, and infill housing near existing centers to meet the demand.
