Northern Territory

  • The state election resulted in change of government and HIA successfully advocated for housing as key election issue for major parties
  • Increased our media profile and reach and was the go-to voice in lead-up to the Territory election
  • HIA’s election imperatives were recognised and a number adopted by both parties and resulted in significant increases to NT first homeowners grants (increase from $10,000 to $50,000) and a new $30,000 fresh start home building grant
  • Established a strong working relationship with the new government and successfully advocated to reforms across new building and planning portfolios
  • Lobbied for cutting red tape, a review of the project approval process, and increased speed in getting new homes and land approvals
  • Advocated for a review and changes to the NT Fidelity Fund to provide a fairer and more transparent service to the housing industry and its clients
  • HIA’s Skills Centre was successful with ongoing user choice funding for the running the Certificate III in Carpentry apprenticeship as well as VET for School Students 
  • Obtained funding approval to deliver the Diploma in Building and Construction by the NT Buildskills grant until 2027
  • Continued our presence at the Careers Expo in Darwin and attended the Katherine Schools Expo and Darwin High School Expo. HIA has become one of the first on the list for these events.
