The local government hopes that land discounts and property tax refunds will attract more developers.

That's especially important for the region's young people, who, as Mayor Peter Politis says, are convinced they'll never be able to own a home.

A social media post detailing the conditions has generated widespread interest, but also concerns about whether the influx of people will put too much strain on the town's infrastructure and social services.
