I don’t agree that reducing development charges will enable houses to be built faster. I think that developers are only interested in building fewer high-priced homes. The only way around that is for the government to provide incentives for developers to build what we require at the moment i.e. affordable housing. Better yet, the government should reduce approval for luxury housing that gobbles up acreage. Reducing development charges will only put more money into the pockets of developers.
