Tasmanian Budget targets housing, skills, and infrastructure
The Treasurer recently handed down the 2023/24 Tasmanian Budget. The budget focuses on building a strong, safe, and secure future for Tasmania through strong investment in housing and infrastructure, along with health and education.HIA advocated in the lead-up to the budget for further spending on measures that will help deliver increased housing supply. The Government has responded positively to HIA’s representations, with $1.5 billion allocated to provide 10,000 new social and affordable homes by 2032 and funding for the continuation of existing housing incentives and programs.
This includes funding for Homes Tasmania to support its capital program; extension of the Residential Land Rebate initiative, First Home Owners Grant, MyShare Equity Program, and Headworks Holiday incentive; continuation of stamp duty concessions for downsizers and first home buyers; and the provision of grants of up to $10,000 for new ancillary dwellings.
While the ultimate success of this funding will depend on the government addressing land supply, tax, and planning issues, the spending on new housing is welcomed.

Beyond FHB Grants: The ‘Hard-Smart’ Policy Australia Needs
In the short term, the only meaningful way to increase housing supply is through government policies that directly reduce the cost of bringing a new home to market, that is, home-buyer grants offsetting other government taxes.

1.2 million homes achievable with these policies, and further reforms
“The policy proposed today by the Hon. Peter Dutton MP, would increase the volume of new homes commencing construction and could be sufficient to achieve 1.2 million new homes commencing construction over a 5 cycle,” stated HIA managing Director, Jocelyn Martin.
ALP policies will increase volume of new home building
“The Housing Industry Association (HIA) welcomes today’s important housing announcement by the ALP to implement major structural reforms to address the nation’s housing crisis,” HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin said today.
