Housing construction productivity: Can we fix it?

POSTPONED TBA
Bartier Perry, Level 25, 161 Castlereagh Street Sydney

Released on 16 Feb, the report of the Australian Government Productivity Commission examines productivity growth in the housing construction sector, with the Commission’s estimates telling a story of decades of poor performance. The headline number is a 53% decline in productivity since 1990. What has gone wrong? The report provides policy directions for improving construction productivity by reducing regulatory burden, streamlining and speeding up approval processes, supporting innovation and improving workforce flexibility to help turn the dial on this persistent policy challenge.
