“HIA welcome the Cook Government’s continued efforts to deliver streamlined planning frameworks and cut red tape for land development.
“This is an important piece of the planning reform agenda and will ensure it remains fit-for-purpose in the coming decades,” said Mr McGowan.
“The proposed changes are expected to cut the administrative burden for the design, assessment and delivery of shovel-ready land, especially in key corridors.
“It’s a win for both the wider and outer metro areas where housing needs have been identified under Perth and Peel at 3.5 million,” he said.
“The ever-increasing market reality of fragmented land tenure during the early stages of land development is difficult enough to overcome on its own, with infrastructure planning, bushfire overlays and environmental approvals adding to the burden.
“The simplification of the development approval process towards collaborative assessment pathways for rezoning applications is a welcome reform and will help boost housing supply,” he said.
Perth and Peel at 3.5m targets largely reflect the National Housing Accord targets and these changes also align with the National Planning Reform Blueprint,” concluded Mr McGowan.
