Who Are We
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (DHUD) primary objective is the delivery of homes and housing options for South Australians. In response to the national housing crisis, they are committed to accelerating the build of a diverse range of housing options. We strive to find solutions to the urgent demand for housing security. DHUD's mission focuses on coordinating various portfolios related to housing, housing infrastructure, urban development, and planning. By ensuring sound decisions and efficient management, we strive to create sustainable, well-planned communities offering safe and affordable housing options.

The OVG also supports government decision making through the provision of professional valuation advice and strategic services.
