  • Achieved staged implementation of the livable housing provisions over  years while restricting the adoption of NCC 2025 and NCC 2028 to minor essential changes to mitigate increases to stringency requirements or housing costs. This includes the continued deferral of 7-star and 'whole of house' energy efficiency provisions
  • Developed six on-demand learning modules that provide financial literacy training to apprentices. The program was launched in Tasmania and rolled out nationally through HIA Apprentices
  • Further advocated and driven a reform agenda through the development of a Tasmanian Housing Strategy. HIA has called for incentivising local housing targets, genuine private planning and plumbing certification, prioritisation and streamlining of projects through a development assessment panel, creating a medium-density residential code and investing in skills and training
  • Secured additional High-Vis Army funding to enable training and development of a future skilled workforce through investment in apprentices and existing workers, training infrastructure and support programs
  • Continued to expand HIA's fully integrated school 'work ready' program, youthBuild, with 20 schools and 400 students across Tasmania participating in the program in 2024, with female student participation increasing to 22 per cent. HIA has built a dedicated website, learning management system and marketing material to promote this initiative. State government funding has been made available to incorporate the youthBuild program in every public school in Tasmania
  • Utilised virtual reality technology to promote career opportunities within the building and construction industry.
