The Huntingfield site was announced as a landmark development, with 470 lots promised to help ease Tasmania’s housing crisis. According to the ‘Huntingfield Land Release Project Community Consultation Outcomes Report’ (September 2020), the first lots were to be available for purchase in 2022.
Since then, Tasmanians have been told repeatedly that land release was imminent. Yet, in 2025, not a single lot has been delivered, or a single house built. Homes Tasmania has delayed the release year after year, while the housing shortage worsens and Tasmanians struggle to find affordable homes.
HIA Executive Director Tasmania, Benjamin Price, said: “this was meant to be the Government’s fast-track solution. Instead, it has become a symbol of Homes Tasmania's inaction. Our members are ready to build these homes now. What we need is land - and we need it urgently.
While Kingborough Council’s planning processes have contributed to delays, the primary responsibility lies with Homes Tasmania to deliver on its commitments. The Huntingfield subdivision was intended to set the benchmark for timely land supply. Instead, it has become a case study in missed opportunities.
“Tasmania cannot afford further delays. Every year without action means more families without homes and more pressure on an already strained housing market.
“HIA is urging Homes Tasmania to immediately release titles for the Huntingfield lots to the market and let our builders build the homes Tasmanians so desperately need.
“Tasmanians deserve better. Tasmania's builders are ready to deliver,” said Mr Price.
