Webinar | Overcoming constraints on Australia's housing construction

This webinar unpacks AHURI research from the Final Inquiry Report: 'Overcoming construction constraints for the supply of new detached and high-rise housing', which provides the first significant examination of the key constraints on Australia's home building rates and quality. The discussion explores how the likes of market volatility, workforce challenges, inadequate regulation enforcement and poor builder capitalisation is holding back Australia's housing construction sector, and considers reform pathways to lift sector productivity.
