Australia has a housing supply crisis, and all levels of government need to step up to unlock more homebuilding. In our upcoming 'It's time to say yes to housing' report, the BCA is calling for a number of reforms that will help create more homes across the country. Part of the solution is fixing approval wait times, and putting a bit more scrutiny on local councils holding back construction. As part of the recommendations, we call for council report cards to provide transparency on how long it is taking a council to make decisions. In cases where there is continued underperformance, their approval powers should shift to the state. Projects of significance should also be elevated to state approval level, and builders should have the ability to force a decision (whether yes or no) if councils are perpetually avoiding one.

Kudos to the Housing Industry Association and the Civil Contractors Federation for their front-page article in The Australian today regarding the risk of the government’s ‘Made in Australia’ policy squeezing out the construction industry in terms skilled labour … Australia is never going to meet the 1.2 million target, which falls below new housing underlying requirements anyway. The latest policy does, however, risk further widening the gap between what we need to build and what we do build. The problem with a fresh industry policy – and both political sides are guilty of this over decades – is that you always end up picking winners. Historically, that usually ends in a policy failure. #hia #civilcontratorsfederation https://lnkd.in/g_zSP4k3

Over the past week, I published three stories about #Chicago's #CBDofficerents, #CBDofficedemand, and what #officeamenities #officetenants want. The first teaches readers how to calculate #askingrentgrowth in #realdollars, adjusted for inflation. Won't bury the lede—rents are down across the board. https://lnkd.in/gREHJi5p. The second piece, "All that glitters is not gold," reveals that #ChicagoCBDoffice two-star properties are outperforming four- and five-star properties, according to CoStar Group's data. https://lnkd.in/g_MvApWS. Lastly, I interview Chicago's #cbdofficebrokers for their takes on what drives office tenant demand. I share insights from four powerful forces in the local #officemarket: Karoline Eigel, Peter Beatrice, Melissa Copley, and Caitlin Ritter. For that story, click on the picture below.

Really great meetup with Matt Usher sharing knowledge on Property Finance options and working together to bring a full suite of services to save time and increase ROI for Investors. We both agree advertising off-plan rooms via a developments' site perimeter hoarding should be a marketing staple! It's already going to get erected, might as well advertise to local footfall and rely slightly less on Estate Agents doing the marketing for you. More to come! #propertyinvestment #propertyfinance #propertybranding
