If the system has ever felt like it was not designed with you in mind, you are not imagining it.
Australia has promised 1.2 million new homes by 2029. Hitting that number depends on far more than building faster.
In this episode, I am joined by Simon Croft, Chief Executive – Industry & Policy at the Housing Industry Association, for an inside look at what is holding back housing supply in Australia, and whether we are building the kinds of homes people actually need.
Listen to discover:
- Why land prices jumped more than 500% in 25 years, while construction costs rose around 150%
- Why planning rules that have barely changed in two centuries can limit the housing our cities can deliver
- Whether pattern book housing can be fast, affordable and well built without lowering standards
- Why the fight over an 80-page National Construction Code misses the bigger problem
- Why a ten-day approval that delivered four affordable townhouses on one block still isn't happening everywhere
Simon has spent more than twenty-five years across construction, training, building regulation and housing policy, so tune in to hear why he still describes the system as a ”hamster wheel.”
