Implementing carpentry registration and licensing Consultation Paper
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has made a submission on the Victorian consultation paper about registering and licensing carpentry. It argues that registration and licensing of trades is a significant impost that further reduces the capacity to deliver homes and other domestic building work.
Why it matters: Victorian carpenters and builders could face new registration and licensing requirements, adding compliance costs and paperwork. The HIA warns this could further limit how much domestic building work the industry can deliver.
Victoria's housing program reaches 15,000 fast-tracked approvals
The Victorian government's Development Facilitation Program has passed 15,000 fast-tracked home approvals across the state. The milestone is part of the government's push to speed up housing supply.
Why it matters: Builders and carpenters may see more approved projects reaching construction, which could mean more work for the trades. Plumbers and electricians may also see more jobs, though the timing of starts is unclear.
Victoria expands scheme to subsidise ceiling insulation installations
The Victorian government has expanded the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program to include upfront discounts on ceiling insulation. The government says households could save more than AU$400 a year on power bills.
Why it matters: Insulation installers, builders and carpenters in Victoria may see more demand as upfront discounts make ceiling insulation cheaper for households. Accredited providers should check the VEU requirements.
