Strong support for National Housing Accord

The ACT Government is pleased to support the Housing Accord announced by the Albanese Government in today’s Budget.

We are pleased to play our part in a shared and ambitious national agenda to address housing access, affordability and choice.

Working collaboratively with Commonwealth and other States and Territories, we have agreed on a policy framework that:

  • Sets an aspirational national target of delivering one million new, well located homes over 5 years from 2024.
    • The ACT will seek to exceed our per capita share of those one million homes.
  • Working collaboratively with the Federal Government and institutional finance to improve the financing for new social and affordable housing projects.
    • The Build to Rent Prospectus released by our Government in August aligns with these broader objectives.
  • Agrees to the improvement of zoning, planning and land release.
    • Which will be delivered in the ACT through the Planning System Review and Reform Project
