“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.
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Regional Meeting of Members of the Victoria Region of Housing Industry Association Limited will be held on Monday 16 February 2026 at HIA Cremorne Office – Level 1, 8 Gwynne Street, Cremorne, Victoria, 3121 commencing at 5.00pm.
The Victorian government has released today, on the stroke of Christmas for public consultation the draft regulations implementing parts of the Building Legislation Amendment (Buyer Protections) Act.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has congratulated the WA Cook Government on its strong economic management and decisive action to address housing supply challenges through the Mid-Year Budget Review.
“HIA is extremely disappointed with the Victorian government seeking to rush through their flawed buyer protection regulations during summer holidays,” stated HIA Victoria Executive Director, Keith Ryan.
