Housing supply and affordability challenges are facing new scrutiny from a Federal inquiry. UDIA National will be active participants in the process, and hope it leads to meaningful reform of broken tax and planning systems.

The housing and construction sector has welcomed Federal Labor’s decision to leave existing negative gearing and capital gains tax arrangements untouched. The decision is a shot in the arm for homebuyers, renters and the sector. See our Media Release udia.com.au/media-release/…

Stamp duty is one of the biggest barriers to home ownership and a drag on the economy. That’s why we welcome the new report by NHFIC on the impact of stamp duty and potential options for reform. It’s time for state governments to step up. udia.com.au/media-release/…

The 2021 Intergenerational Report makes clear Australia's prosperity depends on a robust plan to restore rates of immigration and population growth. We've consistently urged policymakers to develop a coherent plan to restore Net Overseas Migration.

Victoria's new and increased housing taxes will stop projects, stall investment and increase the cost of housing - as well as undermine Commonwealth efforts to boost housing supply and home ownership. udia.com.au/media-release/…

The Federal Opposition’s promise to create a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund recognises the need to continue to focus on social and affordable housing as part of the diversity of options needed right across the spectrum. See our media release.udia.com.au/media-release/…

The focus on the housing sector in the Federal Budget is good for homebuyers, the economy and jobs - rightly geared to economy recovery from COVID-19. It's a win-win - housing construction helps more people into home ownership and promotes jobs. udia.com.au/media-release/…

The Commonwealth Government’s decision to extend and expand its deposit gap guarantee initiative will broaden the pathway to home ownership and boost jobs for the housing construction sector. 10,000 additional places confirmed! udia.com.au/media-release/…
