Housing Affordability Solutions Summit

Hear from the Honourable David Janetzki MP, Treasurer, Minister for Energy and Minister for Home Ownership, as he outlines the Crisafulli Government’s vision for improving housing affordability and restoring pathways to home ownership for Queenslanders.

This session will cover current priorities, key initiatives, and the settings influencing housing delivery, including an update on Boost to Buy.

This panel explores housing diversity across the continuum, from social and affordable housing through to market delivery, and how each contributes to supply and affordability outcomes.

It will examine what is working, where policy is misaligned with real market behaviour, and what more is needed beyond mechanisms such as HAFF and HIF to support greater levels of housing affordability.

This panel examines the role of build-to-rent and affordable housing in improving affordability and rental security, and why delivery at scale remains limited.

The discussion will unpack the barriers to these typologies, including taxation, financing and investment constraints, as well as the role of foreign capital and policy settings.

It will also consider what needs to change to unlock greater levels of investment and accelerate delivery.

Take the opportunity to connect with industry peers and continue the conversation over refreshments.

This panel examines trends in housing and lending, and the role of finance in enabling housing delivery.

The discussion will explore the challenges of making projects stack, including feasibility constraints and the flow-on impacts to housing prices.

It will also consider the risks and opportunities in achieving greater levels of housing affordability.

This panel explores how size, scale, and density influence housing affordability, and the role they play in shaping residential outcomes.

The discussion will examine whether smaller housing leads to more affordable outcomes, and what can be learned from other states and overseas.

It will also consider the role of industry and government in identifying the next market solution.

This panel explores the innovations that could improve housing affordability now, and what success realistically looks like.

The discussion will focus on the practical changes, across policy, delivery, and construction, that have the potential to move the dial.
