HIA Executive Director Tasmania, Benjamin Price, said this milestone is a positive sign for Tasmanians looking to enter the housing market.
“This is a welcome development for Tasmanian families who have been waiting for opportunities to build a home,” Mr Price said.
“While it has taken far too long to reach this point, today’s release is a positive step toward unlocking the potential of the Huntingfield land supply site.”
“While the Huntingfield site has been plagued by delays, today’s release means industry can finally get on with building quality homes for Tasmanians in a fantastic location,” Mr Price said.
The Huntingfield subdivision will ultimately deliver around 460 lots, contributing to Homes Tasmania’s target of 10,000 social and affordable homes by 2032. With more than 150 lots in Stage 1 expected in 2026, HIA is encouraging continued momentum to ensure homes are delivered as quickly as possible.
“Tasmanian builders have the capability and capacity to build the homes our community desperately needs,” Mr Price said.
“Our members are ready to get on with the job – and we look forward to working with government to keep land flowing and approvals moving.”
HIA acknowledges the partnership with HIA Members in this initial release and supports priority access for first-home buyers and MyHome customers.
“The housing shortage is one of Tasmania’s biggest challenges, and every new home counts,” Mr Price said.

Update on recent HIA advocacy activities
Over the past few weeks HIA has been advocating strongly on behalf of members on a range of policy and regulatory issues that have significant implications for housing supply, business confidence and the capacity of our industry to deliver the homes Australia needs.
Tasmanian builders shouldn't be shut out of housing work over union membership
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has today written to the Tasmanian Government calling for a commitment that state-funded and state-partnered housing work will continue to be awarded on merit, not industrial arrangements, warning new federal procurement rules could shrink the pool of builders able to deliver the homes Tasmania needs.
Rushing Working from Home laws will only lead to more bungling
The Victorian Government continues to push ahead with its Working from Home laws despite the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) call for it to abandon its proposed legislation, warning the changes would impose additional regulatory pressure on businesses already struggling and kill productivity.
