This month HIA kicked off its State election activity ahead of the March 2025 Election.
It’s our opinion that housing is the biggest challenge facing an incoming government and must be given the recognition and priority that drives solutions over the next four years.
Stakeholders from HIA committees have suggested that action from a new government should fall under the following themes as a priority:
- Increased labour capacity – apprentices and skilled migration
- Increased land availability – Greenfield, brownfield and medium density opportunities
- Limit to the regulation – no more regulation on the run
Addressing these priorities will help the state address its current supply and availability challenges over the long term.
That said, I’m keen to hear from you. If this resonates with you or you think there is something that has been missed, We encourage you to email us with your thoughts.
