The Housing Supply Orders, introduced in 2018 to address Tasmania’s housing shortage, have only resulted in the construction of six homes out of the 1,000 eligible for approval. “This means the Liberals have succeeded in building one house per year under the fast-track policy. This is not a solution, it is an unmitigated failure,” Broad said. “Tasmania is facing a serious housing crisis. The state is crying out for more supply and we cannot afford a Liberal-Lambie government that has failed to deliver for years.” Broad called for the government to take immediate action to increase housing supply, including providing more affordable housing options.
Labor questions have revealed that the Liberal-Lambie coalition has failed to deliver the social and affordable housing Tasmania needs.
Earlier today, Housing and Planning Minister Felix Ellis confirmed that only six homes have been built out of the 1,000 eligible for approval through the Housing Land Supply Orders.
That number has been the same since March, so it’s probably time to stop using the term “fast-track.”
