In today’s episode of The Good Builder Podcast, Az breaks down four of the biggest stories shaking up Australia’s home building industry:
- The Albanese Government’s decision to pause National Construction Code changes until 2029 — relief or just kicking the can?
- Why government charges now make up nearly half the cost of a new home, and what that means for affordability.
- Can AI really unclog the 26,000-home backlog in housing approvals — or is it more hype than help?
- WA launches its own Productivity Commission — will it deliver faster approvals and cut red tape?
Packed with builder perspectives, industry voices, and hard data, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating Australia’s housing and construction challenges.
