“The package of measures primarily focuses on increasing the supply of social, community and rental housing to improve affordable housing options in the Territory.
“This is a commendable commitment by the ACT Government. It recognises the need for ongoing investment in housing supply and acknowledges the significant shortfall of all forms of housing, but particular housing to support those in our community under the greater housing stress.
“During the Budget briefing HIA highlighted that whilst this is an important initiative, the Government needs to ensure the program does not add more pressure on current labour and supply shortages the housing industry continues to face.
“The ACT Budget also needs to look at complementary policies to this Housing Package, that address the long term skill shortages in the industry. We must continue to bring more apprentices and skilled workers into the industry in the Territory.
The Budget also highlights that over the next five years the ACT Government will release a range of greenfield and infill residential development sites providing capacity for more than 16,000 dwellings.
“Whilst this is a good start, HIA will continue to advocate for increasing the supply of shovel ready, affordable land to keep pace with the current demand for new homes and our expected population growth over the next 2-3 years,” concluded Simon Croft.

The Housing Industry Association (HIA) says that while new taxes and levies are never a good solution to housing challenges, if the Tasmanian Government proceeds with a Short Stay Levy, the revenue must be used to build more homes, not fund policies that undermine supply.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomes the recent announcements by the State Government regarding its commitment to housing and construction training.
Victoria’s outdated planning system has shown improvements, according to the Housing Industry Association’s 2026 Planning Blueprint Scorecard released last week, but still lags other states that are pursuing bold reform.
