OPINION<br />
The Conversation By Nicole Gurran, Rob<strong>in</strong> Goodman, Steven Rowley <strong>and</strong> John Daley<br />
Updated Mon 24 Oct 2016, 7:04pm<br />
Treasurer Scott Morrison has outl<strong>in</strong>ed his vision <strong>for</strong> <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g home ownership at a speech to the Urban<br />
Development Institute of Australia.<br />
The Treasurer acknowledged it was hard <strong>for</strong> first home buyers to get <strong>in</strong>to the Australian hous<strong>in</strong>g market <strong>and</strong> suggested a<br />
number of barriers to <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g hous<strong>in</strong>g supply.<br />
We asked an expert panel to analyse these <strong>and</strong> suggest what other ideas they might have <strong>for</strong> eas<strong>in</strong>g the problem.<br />
What the states need to do<br />
The Treasurer's comments about the plann<strong>in</strong>g system are out of date. A decade of state re<strong>for</strong>ms to alleviate supply<br />
constra<strong>in</strong>ts have enabled the <strong>in</strong>ner city apartment boom, <strong>and</strong> generated a steady supply of outer suburban l<strong>and</strong> to build<br />
on.<br />
With hous<strong>in</strong>g construction at record numbers, state plann<strong>in</strong>g systems are clearly able to respond to ris<strong>in</strong>g market<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>. Putt<strong>in</strong>g aside questions about the location <strong>and</strong> quality of new hous<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>creased construction hasn't delivered<br />
cheaper homes, nor does the Treasurer seem to want that.<br />
In fact, he spends much of his speech caution<strong>in</strong>g about risks to the hous<strong>in</strong>g market from the removal of negative gear<strong>in</strong>g<br />
or from an over-supply of apartments.<br />
With our hous<strong>in</strong>g system so dependent on the private sector, the real question is how to keep construction runn<strong>in</strong>g when<br />
the market cools.<br />
If Treasurer Morrison is truly concerned about af<strong>for</strong>dability he should also be ask<strong>in</strong>g how to secure af<strong>for</strong>dable homes as<br />
part of new development, without lower<strong>in</strong>g values across the established market.<br />
Provid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>centives <strong>for</strong> developers to provide af<strong>for</strong>dable homes is an obvious solution <strong>and</strong> one that the property <strong>in</strong>dustry<br />
itself has been lobby<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong>. This entails government support to drive <strong>in</strong>vestment towards af<strong>for</strong>dable rental hous<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> to<br />
enable a new range of hous<strong>in</strong>g products such as shared equity <strong>and</strong> low cost home ownership.<br />
At present, only around 2 per cent of new homes are delivered by af<strong>for</strong>dable <strong>and</strong> non profit hous<strong>in</strong>g providers. A larger<br />
af<strong>for</strong>dable hous<strong>in</strong>g sector, assisted by government to draw on <strong>in</strong>novative sources of <strong>in</strong>stitutional f<strong>in</strong>ance, would be able to<br />
susta<strong>in</strong> new hous<strong>in</strong>g construction, irrespective of the market cycle.<br />
The commonwealth should negotiate with states so that <strong>in</strong>frastructure <strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong> release is closely l<strong>in</strong>ked to

“...the city [is] not simply an economic or geographic<br />
phenomenon, but above all, a social complex.<br />
...If first place is given to questions of f<strong>in</strong>ancial remuneration<br />
<strong>and</strong> if no more of the common human factor enters <strong>in</strong>to the<br />
picture than can be en<strong>for</strong>ced by build<strong>in</strong>g codes, then... the<br />

Citizenship, espcially as<br />

(from which ‘city’ & ‘citizenship’ are derived)-<br />
based on k<strong>in</strong>ship not on territory.<br />
“Citizenship is a status of reciprocity”.
