Housing affordability; tiny houses

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear Australian Building Codes Board,

I request the following information: the titles and delivery dates of all reports and documents delivered to or produced by the Department, since 1 January 2009, on, separately, the topic of housing affordability, and the topic of tiny homes (exact match in terminology not required).

To be clear, I am not requesting the title page, I am instead am instead requesting the title/names of reports. This should be no more than a few words for each relevant document.

Please exclude duplicates from this FOI request.

Given the significant public interest in housing affordability, I request that the usually applicable FOI fees be waived in this instance.

Yours faithfully,

John Smith
