Cassidy Kroeker's employer was so desperate for his expertise that he was flown to Victoria from Canada as soon as his bags were packed. But once he arrived, he was forced to live out of those bags for months.
"It's been incredibly difficult," Earth Water Technology business developer Carlie Ryan said.
As a result, Mr Kroeker was required to live in hotels in Warrnambool, a further 30 minutes west of Mortlake, often moving from room to room at short notice."It was a lot of calling around and knowing where to call around to find out if an area had space for someone to lease it for more than a month that was furnished."After about six months, Mr Kroeker decided to make the jump and find a more permanent home in Warrnambool.
The Moyne Shire Council in south-west Victoria has been trying to make it easier for the next Cassidy Kroeker to relocate to the region.suggests the nationwide lack of affordable housing could end up costing taxpayers $25 billion a year. Six cabins built in Mortlake have been booked out since they opened and there was a six-month wait-list for prospective workers.
