WA Election Promises: Too Little, Too Late for the Housing Crisis?

Housing Crisis Band-Aid: Will These Promises Deliver?

‍With the WA state election looming, political parties are scrambling to address one of the biggest issues facing West Australians—housing. 

Labor, the Liberals, and the Nationals are all throwing billion-dollar pledges at the crisis, but will any of them truly solve the problem, or are these just election sweeteners that won’t move the needle?

Labor’s Build to Rent: A $1.5 Billion Gamble?

‍Labor is banking on its Build to Rent fund, offering land tax concessions to developers and aiming to boost social housing by 1,000 homes a year. 

But is this enough to make a real dent in WA’s housing shortage? With rental demand soaring and investors pulling back due to economic uncertainty, will developers even take the bait?

Nationals’ Regional Focus: A $2 Billion Infrastructure Promise

‍The Nationals are pouring money into the regions, promising $1 billion to connect land to essential utilities and another $1 billion for government worker housing and social housing.

Sounds great, but without a solid strategy to attract long-term investment and population growth, will these homes even have demand?

‍

Liberals’ $500 Million Infrastructure Fix: Too Little, Too Late?

The Liberals want to tackle critical infrastructure, pledging $500 million for roads, sewerage, and water to support 100,000 new homes. 

While this sounds ambitious, is it enough to fast-track housing supply, or will red tape and slow approvals still stifle development?
