The Housing Industry Association welcomed National Cabinet’s agreement today to support a range of reforms to address housing supply.
Friday, 28th April 2023
HIA’s Deputy Managing Director – Industry and Policy, Jocelyn Martin said the decision to tackle planning reforms to increase housing supply and affordability ultimately leads to more affordable rental accommodation and provides the capacity to deliver social housing without impacting housing supply more broadly.
“The HIA has always agreed more needs to be done at the Federal, state, and local level of government, to achieve a sustainable level of supply where both the cost of buying or renting a house is in the grasp of the average Australian,” said Ms Martin.
“Today’s announcements recognise the extent of the housing crisis is a shared challenge. The Housing Australia Future Fund will provide the crucial base for these reforms to occur. It is important the opposition and cross bench do not delay in passing these Bills.
“HIA is ready to work closely with industry and with all levels of government to ensure that these reforms come to fruition. Without changes such as these, the housing problem will only worsen, governments on all levels have a role to play and todays proposals are a good step forward to easing the problem” concluded Ms Martin.
