Hay Shire Council is continuing its efforts to improve accommodation for key workers, and more recently for its Multi-Purpose Service facility manager, and has met with Murrumbidgee Local Health District to discuss opportunities in Hay.

Is there a shortage of houses in Hay?

There is a general consensus among local real estate agents and the community that there is, and General Manager David Webb believes the lack of housing restricts growth for the town.

Councillors are divided.
