New rules add thousands to the cost of a new home as Tasmania falls years behind on housing
From today, all new homes built in Tasmania must meet the full Livable Housing Design requirements. The Housing Industry Association says this adds thousands of dollars to the cost of building a home.
Why it matters: Builders and carpenters in Tasmania must now design and build to the full livable housing standard, which raises per-home costs and may change quoting, design and compliance work.

Building approvals in the ACT dropped by half in the three months to August compared to a year earlier. The slump raises serious doubts about whether the territory can meet its 2030 housing supply target.
Why it matters: Builders and related trades in the ACT face a shrinking project pipeline, meaning fewer contracts and less work ahead if approvals don't recover.

Why it matters: Builders, carpenters, and other construction trades may need to upskill as MMC adoption grows, but their core skills remain relevant and in demand.
