Housing industry welcomes new Albanese cabinet appointments
“The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomes the announcement of the new Ministerial cabinet, set out by the Prime Minister today, and in particular the expansion of the housing portfolio to take in the future cities planning and a separate special envoy focused on social housing and homelessness,” said HIA Managing Director, Jocelyn Martin.
Signs of a pulse in Canberra building approvals
Building approvals for dwellings in Canberra for the year to the end of March have shown some signs that the market may be turning the corner but still remain well below government targets.

“Australia has just seen its two weakest years of new home commencements in over a decade, meaning these ongoing shortages of skilled trades are not being caused by home building activity,” stated HIA Chief Economist, Tim Reardon.
Building approvals strengthen in March quarter
“There were 48,620 new homes approved for construction in the first quarter of 2025, up by 20.8 per cent on a year earlier,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
