Reported at michaelwest.com.au: Australia must address its housing crisis by boosting construction productivity, as highlighted by the Productivity Commission, which notes a significant decline in the number of homes completed per hour since 1995.

Complicated approval processes, a lack of innovation, and a shortage of skilled workers contribute to the challenges in the housing sector, leading to delays that can stretch beyond a decade.

The commission recommends streamlining regulations and establishing bodies to facilitate faster development and construction processes to increase housing supply effectively.
