“This announcement represents 40 per cent of the 13,742 social and affordable dwellings forecasted by the Australian Government to get underway this financial year. The announcement is an important step forward for the HAFF program.
“HIA has long advocated that Australia needs more housing supply of all types across the ‘Housing Continuum’ be it private housing, private rentals, long term rentals, subsidies and supported housing and social, community and affordable housing.
“Where one form of housing supply across this housing continuum falls short other parts of the system will additionally struggle to meet demand.
“That is why we need a coordinated approach across housing policy programs and across all levels of government to continue with initiatives to increase supply of housing for all forms.
“As a consequence, it will be important to ensure productivity in the residential construction industry is supported by government focus on removing regulatory roadblocks, improving planning systems and tackling skills shortages.
“While we would like to see a longer term more consistent approach to funding social housing, programs such as the HAFF provide positive inroads into improving housing outcomes.
“HIA is committed to work with all levels of government on policies that look to address Australia’s housing challenges and supporting measures to get younger Australians into housing,” concluded Ms Martin.
HIA is continuing to work closely with Midland Brick and the Western Australian Government to address the current supply constraints affecting clay brick products across the WA market.
HIA welcomes the opening of a new funding stream under the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) creating a long-awaited opportunity for Class 1 housing projects to play a larger role in the delivery of social and affordable housing.
The Business Council of Australia’s latest warning on declining productivity should be a catalyst for governments to move from analysis to action, Housing Industry Association (HIA) Managing Director Jocelyn Martin said today.
It is with great sadness that the Housing Industry Association acknowledges the passing of longtime friend, colleague and industry leader, Dr Harley Dale.
