“HIA youthBuild is a highly successful initiative in which young people gain practical experience in the building industry enabling them to become ‘work ready’ while completing their secondary school studies.
“Currently aimed at Year 9 and 10 students, it serves to promote career diversity and provides a pathway into industry, primarily leading to VET training and future apprenticeships. It introduces the skill sets developed in apprenticeships and real industry experience through industry placements and live projects.
“More recently, HIA youthBuild has been integrated into the Department for Education, Children and Young People’s, Architecture and Construction Package of Learning and has been expanded to support engagement by other schools across Tasmania.
“The program is not just confined to students looking at trades, encouraging participation from those also considering building professions, administrative and para-professional roles.
“In addition, HIA youthBuild has a strong female participation and is helping to provide pathways for more women into industry.
“HIA has long advocated for investment in residential construction training and apprenticeships, to support and grow the industry. This is essential for Tasmania to future proof its construction workforce and build the housing that is needed,” concluded Mr Collins.
“Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth are seeing residential land values grow at a rapid rate, while Sydney and Melbourne’s values remain relatively stable,” stated HIA Senior Economist Matt King.
Plumbing and drainage inspections in the Huntlee and North Rothbury areas are moving from Cessnock City Council to Building Commission NSW.
The BASIX Transition period for eligible signed building contracts will end on 30 September 2024. BASIX Certificates must be generated by this date to apply the pre-1 October 2023 BASIX standards.
“As the number of new homes under construction continues to decline builders are reporting fewer difficulties scheduling skilled trades workers on their jobs, although availability of skilled workers remains worse than prior to the pandemic,” stated Geordan Murray, HIA Executive Director – Future Workforce.
