Simon Corbell has announced that he’s doubling the pace of land release in the ACT, the single most effective move to improve housing affordability!
Actually he put out a release celebrating the eco-friendliness of the “Brindabellas Bonython” development which sounds like a small spiky plant but is actually a new suburb as for as I can tell. Down the bottom of the release he slipped this tidbit in:
“This year the ACT Government is providing some 2000 dwellings in the accelerated land release program. This supply represents a more than doubling of last year’s program. A mix of allotments is being supplied ACT-wide to accelerate supply and ensure a range of housing types to suit different lifestyles and needs,†Mr Corbell said.
Not quite sure what drove this approach but the plug for the developer in the footer of the Minister’s media release was a nice touch too.
