520			_aPolicies to introduce social mix are increasingly being adopted across the liberal west as a solution to the ‘problems’ that characterise socio-economically disadvantaged localities. The benefits of social mix to low-income people are ambiguous, but to the extent that they are presumed to accrue, they are based on social mixing between the different demographics. This study examines the theory and practice of introducing private housing onto a public housing estate in inner-Melbourne, Australia. Through an analysis of policy intents and outcomes, the study concludes that the social mix redevelopment model is not leading to social mixing, that the purported benefits for public housing tenants are unlikely to materialise, and that the implementation of social mix policies can disadvantage existing residents. These findings are in line with a growing body of literature that challenges the premises of public-private tenure mix on public housing estates. The paper concludes that the social mix approach to inner-city estate redevelopments in Australia is driven more by an imperative to capitalise on the sale of public land than it is to assist public tenants.
