HIA Executive Director Tasmania, Benjamin Price, said the move demonstrates strong leadership and a commitment to practical reform that supports housing supply and affordability.
“Standing alongside Deputy Premier Barnett today, HIA is proud to back this nation-leading decision. Legislating the pause provides certainty for builders and suppliers at a time when housing pressures remain critical,” Mr Price said.
“This is about reducing unnecessary red tape and ensuring Tasmanian builders can focus on what matters most: delivering more homes for Tasmanians."
Mr Price said, the industry is still managing the complexity and cost of NCC 2022, and adding further requirements now would only increase prices and slow delivery.
“The Tasmanian Government has listened to industry and acted decisively. This is a sensible, balanced approach that puts the construction industry and Tasmanian businesses first.
“This is a massive win for builders. It gives everyone—from apprentices, small businesses and major builders—time to adapt, plan and invest with confidence.
“HIA will continue working closely with the Tasmanian Government to ensure future regulatory decisions support housing delivery and affordability.
“This is what good reform looks like—practical, collaborative and focused on positive outcomes. We look forward to continuing our engagement with the Tasmanian Government to deliver the homes Tasmanians need,” Mr Price said.
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Regional Meeting of Members of the Victoria Region of Housing Industry Association Limited will be held on Monday 16 February 2026 at HIA Cremorne Office – Level 1, 8 Gwynne Street, Cremorne, Victoria, 3121 commencing at 5.00pm.
The Victorian government has released today, on the stroke of Christmas for public consultation the draft regulations implementing parts of the Building Legislation Amendment (Buyer Protections) Act.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has congratulated the WA Cook Government on its strong economic management and decisive action to address housing supply challenges through the Mid-Year Budget Review.
“HIA is extremely disappointed with the Victorian government seeking to rush through their flawed buyer protection regulations during summer holidays,” stated HIA Victoria Executive Director, Keith Ryan.
