Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) welcomes the Prime Minister’s announcement of his new Cabinet in the wake of Labor’s Federal election win.
The Australian people have expressed their confidence in the Prime Minister and the Labor Government to steer the nation toward a productive and positive future with an unprecedented mandate to implement its policy commitments and create the much- needed homes for the people of Australia.
“UDIA is supportive of Government’s policy commitments as they align with our Federal Election Policy Platform, Fast Tracking Housing delivery. We called for a commitment to boost enabling infrastructure, provide upfront Accord Bonus incentives to fast-track delivery of housing and expand the skilled workforce to build homes and we are keen to see these being adopted as policy,” said Col Dutton, UDIA National President.
The hard work continues for the Albanese Government to focus on supply of homes for all Australians through the National Housing Accord, the Housing Australia Future Fund and delivery of 100,000 first home buyer dwellings.
“We hope the government will look closely at incentivising states and territories to boost supply of development ready land and streamline planning approvals that will promote housing affordability,” said Col Dutton.
“UDIA looks forward to continuing our work with the Ministers in the re-elected Albanese Government and using our significant industry insight to assist policy reform that combats the affordability crisis and helps all Australian’s find a home of their own,” added Col Dutton.
