“This approach creates significant inefficiencies and duplication of processes, which must be addressed if the ACT is to solve the housing crisis in the Territory.
“As we lead into this year’s Territory election, HIA is calling on the next ACT government to create a housing ‘super portfolio’ that brings all relevant housing portfolios together under a single Minister whose primary objective is to increase housing supply and put downward pressures on housing affordability.
“One Minister with a clear line of sight of all key portfolios for housing delivery that can really drive the housing agenda, and be a champion for builders, homeowners, renters are what we are calling for.
“With an election approaching and a new ministry to be appointed regardless of the outcome, we are urging the incoming government to give one person the job of solving housing in the Territory,” concluded Mr Weller.
