“Trade shortages loom as a major threat to reaching the Housing Accord target of building 1.2million homes by 2029,” said HIA Executive Director - Future Workforce, Mike Hermon.
“The Victorian government’s Housing Statement is approaching its two-year anniversary. Since that time the Victorian government has implemented some positive reforms, but it is becoming clear that we will not have enough people to build these homes as quickly as we need,” stated HIA Executive Director Victoria, Keith Ryan.
With the focus of the national economic debate on improving productivity following the recent roundtable, HIA used our submission to the Productivity Commission’s Five Pillars reforms to call on the Federal Government to act swiftly to lift productivity and unlock new housing supply.
“The Victorian government’s Housing Statement target of 800,000 homes in ten years is now not going to be realised. A meaningful and sustained increase in the housing supply will only occur if the Victorian government takes notice of consumer’s preferences and gives up on the 70/30 policy favouring apartments over houses,” stated HIA Executive Director Victoria, Keith Ryan.
