“It makes no sense to industry that Housing, Building, City Services and Planning portfolios are all held separately.
“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.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is calling on the Victorian Government to abandon its proposed legislation that would create a legislated right to work from home, warning the changes would impose additional regulatory pressure on businesses already struggling.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has called for a three-month extension of the fuel excise relief and pause on heavy vehicle road user charges that lapse on 30 June, which risk triggering another round of housing materials cost increases.
“Today’s HIA Feasibility Forum highlighted that significant changes are needed to make new housing projects stack up,” said Brad Armitage HIA Executive Director NSW.
“HIA estimates that Australia needed to build more than 250,000 homes last year just to keep pace with demand growth and begin reducing the housing shortage. Instead, we commenced construction of just 196,000 homes. That gap is why housing affordability continues to deteriorate," stated Tim Reardon, HIA's Chief Economist.
