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.

“Residential land prices increased by 1.5 per cent in the final quarter of 2025 to be 9.4 per cent higher over the year, increasing almost three times faster than consumer prices over the same period,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
