“Planning reform is a major part of solving the nation’s housing crisis and all state and territory governments need to implement major reforms now, to stem the tide of unaffordable housing.
“The Federal government’s announcement that Councils are to receive $1.7 billion early funding to assist with the provision of shovel ready housing projects is a key part of addressing the nation’s housing puzzle,” HIA Chief Executive Industry & Policy, Simon Croft said today.
