“HIA has been calling for all levels of government to find ways to accelerate the delivery of essential infrastructure needed to unlock pathways for the construction of new homes across Greater Sydney and regional areas,” said Brad Armitage NSW Executive Director.
A works-in-kind agreement will allow a developer to dedicate land for public purposes or deliver an infrastructure project, such as a state road or school, instead of paying a Housing and Productivity Contribution.
Mr Armitage also highlighted that “it would be beneficial if this type of works-in-kind approach could be more widely applied to local infrastructure contributions as well.
“As always, HIA stands ready to work with all levels of government to find ways to speed up the delivery of essential infrastructure, so that the housing industry can move forward and build more homes,” concluded Mr Armitage.
