The prestigious 2021 HIA-CSR Victoria Home of the Year award has been won by Belot Property Group for an absolutely outstanding custom built home in Brighton.
The win, along with more than 70 other awards, was announced with an online broadcast on Friday 10 December 2021 hosted by Tim Campbell.
A truly magnificent example of modern architecture, this home showcases near-flawless craftsmanship and unparalleled quality. HIA’s judges noted many aspects, such as the expansive window from the basement bar into the pool, that demonstrate the builder’s outstanding skill. The home features four bedrooms, all with ensuites and rooftop gardens.

Fee-Free support could harm training sector
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is urging the government to hit pause on the proposed Free TAFE Bill 2024. While the initiative promises to address critical skills shortages, HIA believes the plan needs a comprehensive review before it’s locked into law.
Response to the Inquiry into the Free TAFE Bill 2024
HIA provided a response to the Senate Education and Employment Committees on the inquiry into the Free TAFE Bill 2024.
"Let's Build Australia": Access to super supports home ownership
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomes the Coalition’s announcement allowing first home buyers to access up to $50,000 of their superannuation to purchase a home. This initiative represents a meaningful step towards addressing the significant barriers to home ownership faced by young Australians,” stated HIA Managing Director, Jocelyn Martin.
