Master Builders Australia and South Australia welcomes today’s announcement by the Federal and South Australian Governments regarding their $801.5 million deal to unlock 17,000 new homes.

These developments follow MBA’s advocacy for increased civil and housing infrastructure spending that will enable bringing new homes to market faster as well as providing significant long-term benefits to the Australian’s economy.

Quotes attributed to Denita Wawn, Master Builders Australia CEO.

“This is vital support for civil and infrastructure works that helps underpin new local developments that are needed right now. Master Builders Australia applauds this announcement as a much-needed part of the housing puzzle.

“We welcome this funding and call on all levels of government to continue to address the many parts of this challenge, including the workforce shortage and the supply chain pressures.”

Quotes attributed to Will Frogley, Master Builders South Australia CEO.

“This is a massive win for South Australian builders, and for that we thank the State Government for their decisive and proactive actions in snapping up this opportunity as quickly as possible.

“The best way to improve housing affordability is to increase supply and today is a major step in the right direction.”
