Outlining the actions and areas of focus that governments need to support the housing industry to deliver the affordable homes we need and where people want to live.
HIA's advocacy work is guided by a range of position (policy) statements that set out the membership's position on the regulation of home building nationally.
HIA sets out the key issues we believe an incoming government must address if we are to sustain the benefits of stronger new home building activity.
HIA's advocacy work responds to a range of government consultations and inquiries throughout the year on reforms that will impact the housing industry.
“Today’s announcement by Tasmanian Labor of policies that leverage private investment to support the delivery of more social and affordable housing is welcomed,” said Stuart Collins, HIA’s Tasmanian Executive Director.
“Sales of new homes nationally increased by 5.3 per cent in the month of February 2024, from very low levels,” stated HIA Chief Economist, Tim Reardon.
The latest ABS figures on new home approvals indicate that home building activity across the Hunter and Central Coast cooled slightly in 2023, reported the Housing Industry Association.
"The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomed the announcement from the Prime Minister and NT Chief Minister of the $4 billion joint funding to build more housing in Northern Territory,” said Luis Espinoza, HIA Executive Director NT.
“HIA is pleased the Federal, State, and Territory Skills and Training Ministers have recognised the critical impact of labour supply and skills shortages in the building industry and pledged to make them a key area of focus in the National Skills Agreement,” HIA Managing Director, Jocelyn Martin said today.
New analysis by HIA shows a shift in languages spoken in the construction industry pointing to a significant diversification taking place in the workforce, but it also warns that unless the government unlocks new construction migration pathways the industry will struggle to meet its target of building 1.2 million houses within five years.
As part of the Pre-fab Innovation Hub, HIA has now released the final report including the findings and recommendations.
HIA's aim is for a nationally consistent approvals outcome for all single dwellings on land zoned as residential.
