HIA Executive Director Tasmania, Benjamin Price, joined the Deputy Premier today with local builder and HIA member Patrick Mackrell of Mackrell Building, acknowledging the Government’s commitment to delivering practical reforms that support small businesses, housing supply and housing affordability.
“The finalisation of the Bill represents strong leadership and timely action at a moment when builders are under significant pressure.
“Standing alongside the Deputy Premier and local builder Patrick Mackrell today, HIA is pleased to strongly endorse this step toward introducing this important legislation,” Mr Price said.
“When three quarters of builders say NCC changes are already biting, hitting pause is just common sense.
“A legislated pause gives the whole industry much needed certainty. It reduces red tape, takes real pressure off small businesses and keeps the focus exactly where it should be — delivering more homes for Tasmanians.
Mr Price said, that locking in the final version of the Bill before its introduction gives industry a clear and stable path forward.
“Introducing further NCC requirements now would add cost, slow construction and increase pressure on a workforce still dealing with the complexity of NCC 2022.
“The Tasmanian Government has listened to builders, suppliers and apprentices on the ground. This is a practical and balanced decision that puts Tasmanian businesses and homebuyers first.
“The finalisation of the legislation is a significant milestone for the industry.
“This approach gives builders — from small family operators through to larger project builders — the time they need to plan, adapt and invest with confidence.
“HIA looks forward to continued collaboration with the Tasmanian Government as the Bill moves into Parliament to ensure regulatory settings support housing delivery and affordability.
“You can’t build houses faster by piling on more regulation. This reform gets the balance right and keeps Tasmanians’ housing needs front and centre.
“This is what practical reform looks like — targeted, thoughtful and focused on delivering the homes Tasmania needs,” Mr Price said.
