“HIA supports reforming the planning system to be simpler and more certain, but in the meantime, there is a litany of pinch points which add time and cost to delivering housing. Those barriers could be addressed quickly at zero cost to government.
“The HIA ‘Getting Keys in Doors’ Report released today, highlights many of the barriers to new housing in NSW that are often overlooked. These barriers, which impact the building process from start to finish, add to the cost of housing by $165M annually and increase construction timeframes by up to 180 days for some projects.
“This does not include the extra mortgage and rent payments families need to make while waiting for their house to be built.
“HIA is calling on the NSW Government to work with industry to address the low hanging fruit and easy wins that could have a big impact on productivity”, stated Mr Armitage.
“Of the 21 recommendations outlined in the Report, more than half could be delivered without any regulatory changes and most could be delivered in less than 6 months at no cost to government.
“For example, why is it that after rezoning, master planning, subdivision approval, and house approval; we then need to get another approval for a driveway? Did no one know a driveway would be built? The goal should be ‘one house – one approval’.
“HIA stands ready to work with the Government to make that happen.
“To deliver the homes we need, it is imperative to simplify the system and make it much easier for industry to get on with the job of getting keys in doors”, concluded Mr Armitage.
