  • Over a year after its Housing Statement, Labor is falling short of its lofty targets - and that's if its estimate stacks up. If it doesn't, things are even worse.

The Allan government in Victoria is actively promoting its housing achievements, claiming significant progress in addressing the state's housing crisis. According to the article, the government has highlighted the construction of over 10,000 new social and affordable homes since 2018, with plans to build an additional 12,000 by 2034.

Critics argue that despite these efforts, the housing supply still lags behind demand, exacerbated by population growth and rising property prices. The government's initiatives, including the Big Housing Build and changes to planning laws, aim to streamline development, but experts suggest that more comprehensive reforms are needed to truly tackle the affordability and availability issues.
