Australians deserve an affordable roof over their head.
Increasing housing supply is essential for providing affordable and accessible homes for households of all income levels, ensuring that everyone has a place to call home.
A lack of housing supply can lead to rising rents, homelessness, and overcrowding, which negatively impacts the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
The building and construction industry in Australia is facing significant challenges, including rising costs of materials, labour shortages, and regulatory hurdles.
Government regulations and red tape add significant time and expense to building projects, creating a major burden for the industry.
To improve housing affordability, all levels of government must work together.
Australians deserve an affordable roof over their head.
