“A Hunter based builder and TAFE NSW teacher with over 30 years’ experience Greg has become the HIA Hunter’s 7th Regional President”, said Craig Jennion, HIA Hunter Executive Director.
“For the next two years Greg, along with newly elected Vice-President Kaine Tarlinton of Buildcert and 9 other HIA members, will form the Hunter Regional Executive Committee”, said Mr Jennion.
The role of the Regional Executive Committee it is to represent the local region, assist in the development of HIA policies and provide a local forum to deal with regional issues.
Other members elected to the Regional Executive include Matthew Edwards, Kristy Francis, Paul Le Mottee, Allan MacKay, Megan Mottley, Stephen Murray, Matt Sharpe, Rodney Tullipan and Grant Williamson.
“I am confident that the experience, relationships across the industry, and enthusiasm of the Regional Executive Committee members will strengthen our ability to respond to both local and national matters,” said Mr Jennion.
The appointments also provided an opportunity to acknowledge outgoing President Paul Le Mottee. “It has been a challenging and difficult time for the industry during Pauls presidency, with the impact of the global pandemic evolving into two years full of constant change and adjustment for both HIA and members”, said newly appointed President Mr Doodson.
“I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution and commitment that Paul has provided the association, and I look forward over the next two years to building on his legacy and that of previous Hunter Region Presidents”, said Mr Doodson.
“With a strong understanding of the challenges those in the residential building and construction industry face I'm certain Greg will successfully lead the industry diverse HIA Hunter Regional Executive Committee”, concluded Mr Jennion.
“Australia’s population reached 27.4 million by the end of 2024, up by 445,900 people, or 1.7 per cent for the year,” stated HIA Senior Economist, Tom Devitt.
The Tasmanian election that no-one wanted to have is in full swing, and while the limited campaign period is unlikely to provide the usual platform to promote key policies and reforms, HIA is calling on both major parties to prioritise housing policies given the significant challenges across the state.
“Our dated and complex planning system is littered with speed bumps that could easily be removed”, said Brad Armitage, HIA NSW Executive Director.
“The Victorian government’s proposal to update home building contract laws to make them fit for use in the 21st century is welcomed by HIA,” stated HIA Executive Director, Keith Ryan.
