HIA Executive Director Tasmania, Benjamin Price, said the legislation represents a significant win for industry, following strong HIA advocacy on behalf of Tasmanian builders.
“This nation leading decision delivers stability,” Mr Price said. “It gives the industry space to focus on building homes, not constantly adjusting to new layers of red tape. After years of rapid and repeated regulatory change, this Bill provides the breathing room builders need to plan, price and deliver new homes with confidence.”
Mr Price emphasised that the NCC pause does not prevent Tasmanians from building to a higher standard.
HIA has consistently cautioned that accelerated NCC changes can add cost, increase complexity and reduce the industry’s capacity to deliver the homes Tasmania urgently needs.
HIA is calling on all Members of the Tasmanian Parliament to support the Bill, recognising its importance to housing affordability and supply.
“With Tasmania falling well short of its Housing Accord targets and currently the second worst performing jurisdiction in the nation, the Government must pull every lever available to boost supply,” Mr Price said.
“HIA looks forward to continued collaboration across Parliament to develop a long term regulatory pathway that balances innovation with affordability and industry capacity.”
HIA congratulates Ben Carroll on becoming Victoria's new Premier and looks forward to working constructively with his Government to increase housing supply, support industry confidence and deliver the homes Victorians need.
The Productivity Commission (PC) has released its Interim Report into Housing Supply Regulation, providing strong independent support for reforms to improve housing supply, affordability and construction productivity across Australia.
A Tasmanian Government promise to cut plumbing red tape is being watered down by its own agency, the Housing Industry Association has warned, just as the Productivity Commission calls for exactly the kind of cut the Government committed to.
HIA provided feedback in response to the statutory review of the industrial manslaughter provisions that were introduced to the Work Health and Safety Act (2011) (WHS Act) in 2024.
