Government’s 1.2 million new homes target faces construction cost blowout
“We did this from where we built many houses before – the results of the housing were weak,” he said. “Not just the blind supply, but the question of who owns it, how it improves its host, and how it improves the standard of living?
“Also, we have seen a high supply period associated with highly weak construction quality. Although we participated, we need a more discreet approach to building standards, we cannot survive them.”
Owen supported a pressure to simplify the approval process and aim to target higher housing supply, but he argued that trying to approve more houses while the construction pipeline was delayed may be like touching a full bathroom.
Instead, he argued that governments could focus on delivering the pipeline, such as making them faster and cheaper to increase productivity and build houses.

For example, this may include modular focusing on construction and increasing the mobility of construction workers at the state and international borders.
Owen also noted that the new supply, including the recycling of negative gears and capital gains for housing ownership, the return of tax privileges, the implementation of large -based land taxes or the retirement asset test is needed for potentially housing ownership.
The analysis comes as a new book that provides plenty of housing, infrastructure and health services, focusing on the supply -side economy and reducing bureaucracy of two US -based journalists. His ideas will be part of the speech at the productivity summit of this month in Canberra.
Johnathan McMenamin, President of Economic Forecasts in Barrenjoey, decided that governments still focus on approval.
“I think the government’s lack of approval according to their targets,” he said. “The goals are ambitious and there is an encouraging to see the target of tension there. As it stops, it is far from being accessible.”
Mcmenamin participated in the supply pipeline because the economy of the landlords was not stacked. The sector in Sydney and Melbourne slowly slowly slowed down and high costs. Developed zoning supported as a focal point.
“We just need to do our best to improve the economy of building more houses,” he said. “There will be pressure on the government to build the apartments.
“Obviously, zoning is a big part of this. To allow more apartments to be built, one of the more natural ways to meet these goals.”
Mcmenamin said that the improvement of housing supply will increase by stabilizing prices instead of making houses cheaper.
“The more we can put on the market, the more affordable they will be,” he said. “This will not surely result in price decreases between house prices – this is not the purpose here.
“The aim is to balance the price. It requires continuous focus on increasing the supply side.”
