We advocate for access to land for development, encourage the creation of a positive regulatory environment and an equitable system of taxation and charges on consumers, all with the aim of creating amazing urban environments.
We believe in supporting our members and the government collaborating to create affordable, sustainable, and liveable communities.
We offer solutions-based advocacy following three main themes:
-
Sufficient land supply
-
Timely and affordable infrastructure
-
Better planning
Our Policy Agenda
The UDIA NSW Housing Crisis Action Plan will guide UDIA's forthcoming policy, research and advocacy as our standing advocacy document. The Plan brings forth 28 recommendations, emphasising that the deep nature of the current housing crisis needs a multitude of levers to be pulled in order to set NSW back on the right path, and deliver the much needed housing to satisfy our growing population, and meet our Federal housing targets.

2023 State Election Campaign
The 2023 NSW State Election prompted UDIA to create our Election Campaign Manifesto – Let's Tackle the Housing Shortage in NSW - which focuses on 12 realistic solutions across 5 priority areas in our Industry that we believe should be prioritised by the incoming NSW Government. The priorities, and solutions, all centre on addressing the acute housing shortage and affordability crisis that is rife across the state. Read the Agenda
