The Albanese government is implementing reforms to reduce red tape in home building, including pausing changes to the Construction Code and establishing a 'strike team' in the environment department. These measures aim to streamline processes and encourage more builders to get on site.

Editor’s Note: This initiative is significant as it addresses the ongoing housing crisis by making it easier for builders to start projects. By cutting unnecessary regulations, the government hopes to increase the supply of homes, which is crucial for affordability and meeting demand.
