– In general, 60,000 dwellings short currently and 160,000 by 2011 (BIS Shrapnel, March 09’)

– Australia needs 1 million new homes from 2009 to 2014– NSW alone needs 78,000– Low-income rental housing short by 251,000 (National

Housing Supply Council, March 09’)– HIA projects Melbourne’s population will hit 5 million

faster than originally forecast and that an additional 600,000 dwellings will be needed over the next 20 years

Introduction

• Continued urban sprawl in Victoria (example)– Unprecedented population growth (92,734

annually or 1.78% by June 2008), making Victoria the fastest growing state in Australia

– Victoria population expected to grow further by more than 40% by 2036 - with Melbourne alone adding 1.8 million people in 2030

– Melbourne 2030 policy creates opportunities for 466,000 new homes in new and established areas

Introduction

• Rising cost for construction– In many instances raw material costs have

doubled and even tripled, from steel to lumber, from concrete to plastic.

– Further contributing to the unaffordability factor– Builders are reducing their gross margins to

retain market share and employees



10

Introduction• Deteriorating affordability for the first home buyers

– Affordable housing remains out of reach for many first home buyers as interest rates continue to buoy mortgage repayments (survey by The Housing Industry Association-Commonwealth Bank of Australia, August 08’ )

– First home buyer affordability index rose just 0.4 per cent in the June quarter to 105.3 index points

– Mortgage repayments accounted for 28.5 per cent of total first home buyer disposable income, the second highest proportion on record

– Affordability deteriorated in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Regional Queensland and Regional South Australia over the last quarter of 2008



11

Introduction• Governments’ stimulus packages to boost the economy

– In December 2008, the Government announced $10 billion injection of funds, aimed at improving housing affordability

– In February 2009, the Government announced a $6.4billon housing recovery plan, aimed at boosting the supply of new housing for both the public and community housing sector.

– The $2.2 billion of initiatives in the 2008 budget and the $1.5 billion for the First Home Owner Boost announced as part of the Government’s Economic Security Strategy in October 2009.

– Victoria government has, in February 2009, allocated $28 million Market Validation Program as part of its $300 million innovation initiative to SMEs capable of designing and delivering technological solutions.
