Families are being priced out of Kingborough. Young people cannot find a home. Developers willing to invest are being buried in red tape.
Housing supply in Kingborough is directly tied to improving the planning function. The March 2026 review of planning operations referenced in Priority 3 is the mechanism by which most of the improvements below must be delivered. Without planning reform, the housing agenda does not move. That is why these two priorities must be pursued together.
- Set ambitious housing approval targets and publicly report against them
- Publish target assessment timeframes for residential applications and report performance against them publicly each quarter
- Streamline subdivision and development approvals
- Work with the state government to unlock land supply in growth corridors
- Cut the cost and time burden on homeowners doing extensions and renovations
- Support innovative housing models including social and key worker housing
- Advocate for state level planning provisions that support housing affordability in Kingborough
