Sub Standard – Lifting Australian building quality

Sub Standard – Lifting Australian building quality

Environmental performance standards of Australian housing are considerably weaker than international counterparts, which means householders suffer from high energy costs, poorer health and greater financial stress. 

What will it take to develop fit-for-purpose housing standards policy in Australia?

This webinar will explore new AHURI research findings on which policy options have potential to make the difference. Discussion will look at the role a national strategy could play, and some of the mechanisms it could include, such as improved performance standards for new homes; mandatory energy performance disclosures; independent building compliance and enforcement processes; minimum standards for rental properties; and more.
