On with the news from this week
🚀 The latest residential construction news from new sources around Australia for the news week ending 13-03-2025 🔥
A theme of these weeks news titles is: Housing Crisis Meets Momentum—But Is It Enough?
This week’s housing news paints a picture of movement, but not necessarily progress. On one hand, building approvals are up, construction is hitting record highs, and there’s growing talk of reforms and solutions. On the other, Australia’s housing crisis continues to deepen, with affordability at record lows, homelessness on the rise, and new policies struggling to make a meaningful impact.
The headlines tell a story of two realities: more homes are being approved and built, yet the people who need them most are still struggling to secure a place to live. Major developers are pushing for rezoning to build thousands of homes, state governments are fast-tracking projects, and prefab housing is once again being hailed as the long-overdue game-changer (despite being talked about for decades).
But at the same time, rental affordability is in free fall, home ownership is slipping out of reach for many, and quality and compliance issues in construction remain unresolved.
Regulatory Change: More Rules, But What About Enforcement?
A big theme this week is regulatory change. Victoria is proposing sweeping industry reforms, new apartment regulations are on the table, and there are calls for tougher penalties and better oversight. But as one article bluntly points out: what’s the point of more rules if no one is enforcing the ones we already have? The gap between policy and practice continues to undermine progress, leaving many to wonder if these changes will make a real difference.
Climate Resilience: Building for a Changing Future
Another key discussion is climate resilience. From cyclone damage in Queensland to debates over stronger building codes, there’s growing recognition that homes need to be built tougher to withstand a changing climate. But again—are we even meeting the current standards? If builders are still ‘estimating’ wind ratings rather than calculating them properly, is adding more regulations really the solution? It’s a stark reminder that ambition must be matched by accountability.
The Elephant in the Room: Affordability
And then there’s the elephant in the room: housing affordability. Reports show that housing tax breaks continue to fuel price hikes, and despite government funds being allocated to new projects, not a single home has been built under some schemes yet. Meanwhile, younger generations are facing a grim housing future, and homelessness is becoming an unavoidable political issue. The disconnect between policy promises and on-the-ground outcomes is glaring.
So, Where Does That Leave Us?
There’s movement, there’s ambition, and there’s no shortage of debate. But until the industry is held accountable for quality, and policies actually deliver housing where it’s needed most, the core problems won’t go away. More houses are great—but if they’re unaffordable, poorly built, or not where people need them, have we really solved anything?
This week’s news highlights an important question: are we building momentum, or just spinning our wheels?
The housing crisis demands more than just talk—it demands action, accountability, and a commitment to real change.
🤔 Our View on This Week’s Most Important News
🌯🌯🌯🌯 Australia's Housing Shortage Worsens – [LINK]
This headline cuts to the heart of the problem tying all this week’s housing news together: the glaring disconnect between ambitious housing supply goals and the real-world constraints that make them so difficult to achieve.
The government’s target of 1.2 million new homes is meant to address affordability, homelessness, and supply shortages. But as this week’s stories reveal, we’ve never met targets like this before—and nothing fundamental has changed to suggest we suddenly will.
Several themes from the week’s headlines reinforce why this is the most important issue right now:
1. Record-High Approvals Aren’t Enough
While record-high building approvals and construction activity are positive signs, they’re still not enough to meet demand. The scale of the housing crisis is so vast that even these numbers fall short of what’s needed.
2. Affordability is Getting Worse
Even if more homes are built, affordability continues to worsen. For many Australians, homeownership is slipping further out of reach, and rental stress is at an all-time high. Building more homes won’t solve the crisis if people can’t afford to live in them.
3. The Building Industry is Stretched Thin
Labour shortages, rising material costs, and persistent compliance failures are major roadblocks. The industry is already struggling to keep up with current demand, let alone the additional pressure of a 1.2-million-home target.
4. Regulatory Changes Often Miss the Mark
New policies and regulatory changes are being proposed, but history shows they often create more red tape rather than driving real change. Without proper enforcement and accountability, these measures risk being ineffective.
5. Climate Resilience Adds Another Layer of Complexity
As climate resilience becomes a growing concern, the reality is that many homes aren’t even meeting today’s standards, let alone those needed for a warming world. This raises questions about whether we’re building for the future or just repeating past mistakes.
6. The Human Cost of the Crisis
Stories about homeless Australians calling for urgent action, along with reports on rental stress, underquoting in real estate, and the broader affordability crisis, all link back to one big question: Is the 1.2-million-home target realistic, or just political wishful thinking?
The Bottom Line
Until the government addresses the underlying issues—construction capacity, affordability policies, and enforcing quality standards—this target risks being another statistic that looks good on paper but doesn’t change reality.
The housing crisis demands more than ambitious goals; it demands actionable solutions, accountability, and a commitment to tackling the root causes.
This week’s news makes it clear: momentum is building, but without addressing these fundamental challenges, the 1.2-million-home target may remain out of reach.

🌯🌯 Changes to building codes urged as extreme weather hits more often - LINK
Our comment: This article is behind a paywall. Second, while the idea of updating building codes is good, we still face the same underlying issues: poor quality, lack of quality management, no quality auditing, and insufficient oversight of compliance standards.
For example, on my street, I built three houses for a client. There’s a river in front of our houses, as well as everyone else’s on the same side of the street. We measured the river’s width and had an engineer design the wind rating for the house—something most builders don’t do. Often, builders simply guess the wind rating based on "experience" rather than following the proper process.
Note: I often refer to this wind rating calculator to explain how to determine wind ratings. It provides clear diagrams and allows you to adjust values to see how the results change.
Back to my story: We discovered that the river is over 300 meters wide, which meant the original design classification of N3 needed to be upgraded to an N4/C2 rating. No one else on the same side of the street constructed their homes to the N4 tie-down standard.
My point is, before we talk about increasing ratings, we should ensure that current builds are being done correctly in the first place.
I’m all for robust construction, but higher wind ratings require more materials and labour, making houses more expensive. If only we could guarantee that builders were adhering to current standards and meeting quality benchmarks.
I’d propose creating an organisation called the "National Building Quality Commission" (NBQC), the "Australian Builders Quality Authority," or perhaps even the "Australian Building and Benchmarking Authority" (ABBA).
I think I prefer ABBA—it’s a bit of a jab at the construction industry. While Master Builders doesn’t seem to care how its members build, members of ABBA could be musicians for all we care, as long as they build to the NCC and standards. They could even wear a white cape!

Our comment: Will anyone be held accountable for the leak and the tragic loss of life it caused, or is it just a case of "whoopsie, thoughts and prayers"? Until there are real consequences for such actions, the worst of human behaviour will continue to prevail. It’s time to get tough on this kind of negligence. If this had happened to the family of the person who leaked the information—whether by accident or not—they would be devastated. When such events don’t directly affect us, the damage may seem less impactful, but that doesn’t mean someone didn’t suffer greatly because of it.

Article excerpt: "The real take-off in house prices happened to coincide with the change in the capital gains tax under the Howard government,” Minack argues. “That motivated people to earn money via asset price appreciation rather than income, so it saw a lot more investors go into housing.”

Our comment: I’m not sure why they call it under quoting—it’s just plain lying. Australian real estate is built on a layer of dishonesty (if you want to get ahead as an agent). I’m not saying all agents do this; I know plenty of great agents who are honest and transparent. But many of the so-called "high flyers" can’t lay straight in their beds, nor do they care to, because they make bank without facing any consequences for their actions.

Our comment: This is absolutely painful and happens all the time. Builders do it to other builders and dare you to "prove it."

Installing cameras everywhere is expensive, and, much like padlocks, they only keep the honest crooks away. The real troublemakers don’t care and simply conceal their faces with hoodies.

Our comment: Ah, yes. This would work well, but developers are carving up the pie so small that this method will only be feasible if an entire section of a development—or the entire estate—is built using this technology, not just one-off projects. There simply isn’t enough site space to manoeuvre place, and operate this type of machinery effectively.

Our comment: Yes, there is a similar but different article published on 8-03-2025.
Yes, Australia needs new homes – but they must be built to withstand disasters in a warmer world - LINK
Our comment: Yep, but we can’t even build our current stock properly. So, why not change things and see how well we do that? At least the maintenance sector will be booming for the next 100 years, fixing up our "awesomeness" (as an industry). Probably not something to be proud of—but hey, we have Master Builders to ensure nothing but the best for consumers. They are, in fact, Master Builders.
The term "Master" in "Master Builders" signifies a builder who is a member of a Master Builders Association. These associations require members to adhere to strict codes of conduct (like no drinking on Mondays), ensuring high standards of workmanship (though it’s unclear how they qualify or manage this) and professionalism (like wearing a shirt to the bar when ordering).
Generally, the term "Master" in this context is defined as a commitment to excellence, compliance with relevant laws, and continuous skill development within the industry.
Yet here we are: super productivity, super quality (allegedly), and more expensive houses than ever before. Masters at everything—except delivering quality for consumers.

Our comment: This was entirely predictable. The moment this target was announced, reports showed that Australia has never met such a housing goal in the past 5–10 years. Yet, here we are again, acting as if it’s achievable without major changes. Thoughts and prayers won’t put roofs over heads, and builders and developers are already stretched to their productivity limits. Labour shortages and supply chain constraints only add to the challenge.

🌯🌯🌯 Father at risk of homelessness asks brutally honest question on ABC Q+A - LINK
Our comment: The usual response—"it’s all very complex" or "we just need to build more"—is nonsense. The reality is, we can't just build more. Unless the plan is to ramp up skilled migration to fill construction gaps (which presents its own housing demand issues), where exactly will the workforce be housed?
We already have a massive housing shortfall, and past industry data shows we consistently fail to meet housing supply targets. So why do policymakers act as if the deficit will somehow correct itself?
The photo accompanying this story shows a queue of desperate renters—one step away from a Hunger Games-style housing battle.
The response given to this struggling man was a masterclass in political evasion. Instead of acknowledging the real issue or offering meaningful solutions, the politician dodged the question with vague talking points. Meanwhile, this man—working two jobs but still unable to afford housing—was left with nothing. Do you think he’s alone? Absolutely not. This is the reality for countless Australians.
