Property Council recently submitted on the Government’s Policy Statement on Housing and Urban Development (GPS-HUD). While we supported a majority of the proposals, there are certain parts of the Discussion Document that required further refinement.
This included:
- refinement of the vision and outcomes; 
- clarifying the Government’s actions to provide more public rental housing and address lack of housing supply; 
- further refinement of the Building System reform; 
 addressing materials and skills shortages;
- clarifying how NPS-UD interrelates with GPS-HUD; 
- greater Government contribution; 
- better coordination between local and central government; 
- better alignment between different work programmes; 
- development of the Population Strategy; 
 better use of existing funding and financing tools;
- establishment of competitive infrastructure fund; 
- and further refinement of the Implementation Strategy.
