NSW Government unveils new infrastructure delivery pathway for developers
The proposed Housing and Productivity Contribution Scheme Works-in-Kind Guideline outlines how developers can meet their contribution obligations by dedicating land or carrying out infrastructure works rather than making cash payments. Under the draft guideline, Works-in-Kind proposals will be competitively assessed using a structured process based on strategic alignment, evidence, transparency, efficiency, and fairness. Only regional and state infrastructure projects listed in the government’s Infrastructure Opportunities Plans will be eligible for Works-in-Kind arrangements, though developers can submit expressions of interest for additional projects (23 June 2025).

The 262,000-home shortage Australia needs to fix
Lower interest rates and stable costs are improving affordability and lifting supply but Australia is on track to fall 262,000 homes short of its five-year target, the National Housing Supply and Affordability Council says in its State of the Housing System 2025 report. The 938,000 homes the country is forecast to build over the period to June 2029 is up from a forecast 903,000 new homes the federal government’s advisory council made last year and reflects cyclical improvements in the economy, council chair Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz said. But the revised forecast total still falls short by 262,000 of the 1.2 million new homes the federal government has pledged to deliver the next five years (21 May 2025). Read more here.

End to no-grounds eviction among rental reforms now in force
Under the changes which come into force today, owners will be required to provide a valid reason for ending a lease and longer notice periods will apply to some leases. If renters find a new property after receiving notice of eviction, they’ll also find it easier to end their lease early. In addition to ending no-grounds evictions, the government is also allowing tenants to apply to keep pets. Owners will only be able to turn down applications for a specific set of reasons, such as a failure to comply with local council laws. If owners do not respond to applications within 21 days, approval will be automatic. And finally, renters must be able to pay their rent with a method such as direct bank transfer, which does not incur a fee. The NSW Government’s Rental Taskforce will have the responsibility of enforcing the new laws (19 May 2025). Read more here.

State of the housing system: 2025
The report details Australia’s current housing demand, supply and affordability conditions, and the expectations for these over the coming years. It makes 15 policy recommendations in five key policy areas. Prioritising these policy reforms will improve outcomes across the housing system. Structural constraints are the principal barrier to supply. There continues to be an inadequate pipeline of skilled workers; low rates of productivity and innovation in the construction sector; and restrictive and complex land use and planning approval systems in some jurisdictions. Systemic reform and ongoing investment from government and industry are urgently needed to ensure that housing in Australia is affordable, fit for purpose and secure for households of all incomes and in all locations (21 May 2025).
