The proposed service, dubbed ‘legal aid for NIMBY’s’ by HIA, would have given legal and planning advice to individuals that are trying to stop new housing development.
“The proposed introduction of this service flies in the face of the current housing crisis and our efforts to resolve it,” said HIA Executive Director ACT/Southern NSW Greg Weller.
“HIA understands that the service will not proceed due to there being no tenders received to undertake the IPAS.
“Although the IPAS is being shelved because there were no tenderers, in reality it should never have been proposed in the first place.
“In the middle of the housing crisis we should be supporting development not spending taxpayer funds to stop new housing,” concluded Mr Weller.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is pleased to see the announcement for action on red tape and approvals made by Minister for Housing Homelessness and Cities Clare O’Neil. “The burden of regulation related to building, planning and approvals is adding cost, and delays which is impacting our ability to supply the homes we need”, HIA’s Managing Director Jocelyn Martin said today.
“The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is pleased to see housing feature prominently at this week’s Economic Reform Roundtable particularly on cutting excessive red tape and streamlining environmental approvals, but as Treasurer Jim Chalmers has indicated more work is needed on easing housing construction,” said HIA Managing Director, Jocelyn Martin.
“As an industry association whose members are embedded in the Hunter and Mid North Coast communities, HIA welcomes the $50 million Housing Support Package announced by the Albanese and Minns Governments,” said HIA Hunter Executive Director Craig Jennion.
“The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomes today’s announcement by the Albanese Government in providing $300 million to support Australia’s future wood supply to meet increasing housing needs across the country,” said HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin.
