Ahead of the 2025 federal election, HIA recently hosted three housing roundtables with a cross section of members and Senator Andrew Bragg, Senator Maria Kovacic, and Liberal candidates for Dobell, Patterson, and Shortland.
Attendees were forthright in their discussions on local housing supply and affordability issues, highlighting areas where a future federal government can and must support our sector. There was a strong focus on both supply and demand matters and the need to support businesses to meet the growing housing demand.
While some progress has been made in boosting supply, there was consensus that we need real reform in NSW, not more commentary or niche policy solutions. Keeping on with business as usual solutions to solve the housing crisis simply won’t cut it. HIA members are ready to build. The system simply needs to let them.

Funding to fast-track trades qualification can help get more homes built quicker
“Today’s announcement from the Labor Government of $78 million in funding to fast track the qualification of up 6,000 tradies is an important initiative which will help get more homes built quicker,” said HIA Managing Director, Jocelyn Martin.
Can the Feds lower housing costs faster than states can increase them?
“As Prime Minister, how would you stop state governments from continuing to increase the taxes on new home building and adding additional red tape?”, asked HIA’s Managing Director, Jocelyn Martin.
