With the WA State Election now in full swing we expect a number of housing related announcements over the coming weeks. Our key focus is on supporting land development and supporting a dramatic increase in workers.
Nationally, HIA will also launch its Federal Election Campaign with skills, funding infrastructure for land development and the removal of red tape all high on the agenda.
NCC 2022 March madness is just around the corner. Don’t miss out on your spot to attend one of our four seminars in March looking at the important changes that will affect how you build your homes into the future.
Finally, HIA Housing Awards are now open. I’ve been watching the progress of many of our members' houses on social media and am looking forward to seeing them all in the awards.
