UDIA National Policy Priorities 2022
UDIA’s 2022 National Policy platform is built around six key themes entitled Resilience. Recovery. Reform:
UDIA National’s policy blueprint is a suite of actionable policies and reforms that will drive economic recovery, boost housing supply and affordability.
Resilience. Recovery. Reform. maps the policy solutions needed to navigate the combination of increased demand, diminishing supply, and pandemic driven material and labour shortages, threatens to stall economic recovery and accelerate the affordability crisis. This means fewer new homes at ever higher prices.
The development industry has the capacity to positively propel the economy whilst simultaneously delivering affordable housing for all Australians. All we need is the adoption of some straightforward, mostly inexpensive policy choices to ensure the supply of new housing across the spectrum keeps pace with demand.
Envirodevelopment
EnviroDevelopment is a scientifically-based assessment scheme that independently reviews development projects and awards certification to those that achieve outstanding performance across four or more of the provided elements:
- Ecosystems
- Waste
- Energy
- Materials
- Water
- Community
EnviroDevelopment makes it easier for purchasers to recognise and, thereby, select more environmentally sustainable developments and lifestyles.
Certified developments will have been carefully designed to protect the environment and use resources responsibly, whilst offering a range of benefits to homeowners, industry and government.
