This submission seeks to provide constructive, evidence-informed observations in response to many of the questions posed by the Issues Paper released by the Productivity Commission as part of the consultation process for the Review of the NHHA. The Issues Paper considers a wide range of issues relating to the performance of the NHHA and the importance of a coordinated and coherent housing strategy.

This submission focuses primarily on the substantive housing agreement and housing policy issues relevant to this, and seeks to provide constructive, evidence-informed observations in response to many of the questions posed by the Issues Paper. AHURI remains willing to continue to work with the Productivity Commission in developing nuanced, evidenced understandings of these issues and to broader issues relevant to housing policy, markets, subsidy, and assistance.

AHURI is pleased to make this submission in response to Infrastructure Victoria’s draft 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy for the state.

Our submission has been structured according to the same four main ideas that give shape to the Infrastructure Strategy itself:

1. Confront long-term challenges
2. Manage urban change
3. Harness infrastructure for productivity and growth
4. Develop regional Victoria

The detailed content of the submission is derived from AHURI’s extensive body of evidence and research on housing, homelessness, cities, and urban policy issues.

AHURI's submission to the Senate Economics Legislation Committee’s the Housing Australia Future Fund 2023 package of bills. The Australian Government is to be commended for the pace and ambition of the legislative agenda being pursued through this legislative package, and for moving not only to directly respond to the housing crisis, but to work in partnership with other tiers of government, community sectors and industry in addressing these complex housing system challenges seen across the nation.

AHURI recognises the time critical nature of the Housing Legislative Package, and is broadly supportive of each of the Bills. While some areas, noted above, are not addressed in detail in the draft legislation, some of these details are not legislative matters but are more operational. Whether amendments to the Bills address these concerns, or they are addressed subsequently through other processes, AHURI is available and capable of assisting the Commonwealth in ensuring the Government’s housing reform agenda leads to improved housing outcomes for Australians.
