In a bid to address Australia’s growing housing crisis, the Coalition has announced a bold plan to inject $5 billion into fast-tracking critical infrastructure projects aimed at speeding up housing development. This comprehensive plan, spearheaded by Michael Sukkar MP, the shadow minister for housing, promises to expedite the construction of up to half a million homes by improving access to essential services such as water, power, and road networks.
The proposal is part of the Coalition’s broader housing policy, which includes a range of measures designed to make home ownership more accessible and affordable for Australians. Jason Wood MP, a long-serving member of parliament and a vocal advocate for sensible economic and infrastructure policies, shared key aspects of the plan on social media. Wood emphasized that this strategy was developed with extensive input from experts in the housing industry, and reflects the Coalition’s commitment to resolving the housing crisis that many Australians are facing.
As the Member for La Trobe, Jason Wood has consistently championed local infrastructure projects and housing reforms. Known for his strong stance on immigration control and national security, Wood is now playing a key role in promoting the Coalition’s vision for housing, pushing for policies that prioritize Australians and streamline the building process.
Under the proposed policy, the Coalition would:
- Simplify building regulations, reducing red tape to allow construction projects to move forward more efficiently.
- Ban foreign buyers from purchasing Australian homes for two years to prioritize local buyers.
- Allow first-home buyers to tap into their superannuation to use as a home deposit, making it easier for young Australians to enter the property market.
- Implement sensible migration policies that ensure infrastructure is developed in tandem with population growth, a strategy the party claims it has successfully managed in the past.
Jason Wood was particularly critical of the Albanese government, arguing that Labor’s “incompetent policies” have exacerbated the housing crisis, leaving many Australians struggling to find affordable homes. “We need common sense. We need a back-to-basics approach to the economy. We need a sensible approach to housing and immigration. We need to get Australia back on track,” Wood stated, emphasizing that the Coalition’s leadership under Peter Dutton is the solution to these pressing issues.
As a prominent figure within the Coalition, Wood has continually advocated for policies that balance immigration with infrastructure needs, ensuring sustainable growth in both housing and public services. His call for a back-to-basics approach underlines the Coalition’s focus on practical, people-first solutions as the nation heads toward the next election.
This housing plan will be a significant part of the Coalition’s campaign, as they aim to convince voters that their policies will deliver better outcomes for Australian homeowners and first-time buyers alike.
