In short

The September 2024 progress summary shows that significant progress was made by all jurisdictions in delivering on the Blueprint.

In August 2023, all states, territories and the Commonwealth, as part of National Cabinet, agreed to 10 measures and 17 associated actions that form the National Planning Reform Blueprint (Blueprint).

Measures

These measures were intended to drive improvements to planning, zoning and land release systems, to support accelerated delivery of new housing supply and increase affordability.

September 2024 progress

The September 2024 reports show that significant progress was made by all jurisdictions in delivering on the Blueprint but given the ambition of national housing supply targets, on-going work is needed.

More reforms to address non-planning constraints such as labour and material shortages and access to finance are likely needed if governments are to meet their ambitious national housing targets.
