HIA Executive Director Tasmania, Benjamin Price, said the appointment comes at a critical time for Tasmania’s housing system.
“HIA has expressed significant concern about the performance of Homes Tasmania over recent years. The scale of Tasmania’s housing need demands an agency with strong leadership, clear direction, and a focus on partnering with industry to deliver the homes Tasmanians urgently need,” Mr Price said.
“Today’s appointment signals a genuine opportunity to hit reset and put delivery back at the centre of Homes Tasmania’s agenda.
“Ben Wilson brings a strong and credible track record in housing development in Tasmania.
“A former President of HIA in Tasmania, Ben brings unparalleled insight into the residential construction sector and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the building industry.
“HIA also strongly welcomes the appointment of Sarah Courtney as Chair of Homes Tasmania. Ms Courtney brings extensive experience in public service and governance, which will be vital in supporting strong leadership and improved outcomes.
“HIA is confident that these appointments will lead to improved outcomes for the housing system, stronger collaboration with the building industry, and better housing results for the Tasmanian communities who need them most,” Mr Price said.
