Sharon Piconi
HIA Queensland President
I’m honoured to have been elected by members as the HIA Queensland President for the coming two years.
I have been involved with HIA Committees at various levels for many years. I strongly believe that my building business, along with the entire Queensland home building industry, has benefited greatly from the important work that HIA continues to pursue on our behalf, with our support and input.
At the highest level, my primary focus will be to continue to ensure the home-building industry’s voice is heard. In particular, that we all contribute to and benefit from a long-term resolution of the current housing crisis, which is seeing people living in parks and out of their cars. The current situation is not acceptable in the prosperous, modern society that Queensland has always offered, and we need the next generation, like we did, to be able to aspire to buy their own home one day.
I’m concerned that the building industry is currently under heavy fire and carrying an ever-increasing weight from regulatory and other government-led changes that hamper us. We need to ensure that the government’s ideology in addressing policy areas like workplace relations and building standards does not over-run business practicality and drive-up home prices further. I am seeing many builders at the moment who are simply not prepared to take the high risk required to embark on the significant home-building projects needed to solve the housing crisis simply because uncertainty in our industry is too great and increasing.
We need to be an industry that is free enough to focus on getting back to practical, cost-effective business and delivering all kinds of homes that people want to live in – including social and affordable homes. The focus of my tenure will be ensuring we can do so without unnecessary ideology and interference.
