Advocates say State and Federal Governments must listen to local communities if they want to find lasting solutions to the housing crisis engulfing many regional towns.
It comes as a national report card reveals no state or territory is on track to meet their housing needs over the next five years, with little faith our governments can get things back on track.
Selected findings:
● Australians lack confidence that the housing situation will get back on track, with every state and territory scoring below 50% community confidence.
● ACT has made the strongest progress on housing nationally with a headline score of 61.8%, driven by near-target delivery (96.4%) and the highest confidence level (46.1%).
● South Australia ranks second at 56.4%, combining solid delivery (73.8%) and confidence (44.5%), the Malinauskas Government is the most trusted in the country.
● Victoria shows the sharpest disconnect with a headline score of 52.4%. The state is on track for 90.1% of its housing target (284,000 homes), yet confidence is just 33.4%, with trust in the Victorian Government the lowest nationally.
● NSW scored 47.4% with lower delivery (56.2%) and confidence (39.8%), though the NSW government remains the second most trusted nationally.
