The NSW Government is expanding its $1 billion Pre-sale Finance Guarantee program to better support affordable housing and smaller residential developments, particularly in regional areas.
“Pre-sales represent a major hurdle for new housing developments, and without sufficient pre-sales, finance is harder to obtain, often delaying construction.
“The changes will provide the opportunity for developers of smaller projects and those in regional areas to get access to the finance they need to start building much faster,” added Mr Armitage.
“Key workers and young people are struggling to secure housing in regional areas, and local businesses are finding it harder to attract staff because people cannot find a place to live.
“We have already seen how effective the Pre-sale Finance Guarantee has been in accelerating the delivery of housing projects in NSW. This move builds on the other great initiatives from the NSW Government, including the planning system reforms and reflects its commitment to addressing housing supply shortages right across NSW,” concluded Mr Armitage.

Member information: Fuel Surcharges and the Road Transport Order
In April 2026 an order requiring primary and secondary parties in road transport contractual chains to review and adjust transport rates fortnightly to recover increased fuel costs was handed down by the FWC. This requirement switched off automatically in the week ending 5 June 2026, when the weekly average national terminal gate diesel price fell below $2.00 per litre but did not revoke the order. HIA breaks down what this means for your business.
Superannuation Legislation Amendment (Fair Super for Young Workers) Bill 2026
HIA supports fair treatment of young workers and recognises the importance of appropriate superannuation coverage.

National Tradies Day - Tradies will build Tasmanias future
Tasmania's home builders have marked National Tradies Day by putting the case for a trade career to young Tasmanians, saying the trades offer one of the strongest pathways in the state to secure work, real money from day one, and a career that technology is far more likely to help than replace.
