The UDIA State of the Land 2026 Report, launched today at the UDIA National Congress, presents a mixed outlook for the housing market and highlights risks in the near term.
This year’s edition of the State of the Land Report is particularly important as it provides a clear reminder that increasing housing supply must remain a national priority.
“To restore housing supply at the scale required, governments must prioritise policies that enable development to proceed efficiently and feasibly.
This includes boosting development-ready land supply, streamlining planning approvals, addressing infrastructure funding constraints and ensuring planning systems support the timely delivery of new housing across all markets. ,” said Oscar Stanley, UDIA National President.
