While we do face tough economic challenges ahead, we mustn't forget the long-term outcomes that this Government hopes the bill will achieve. By overcoming technical financing constraints and speeding up the provision of housing-related infrastructure, we are tackling one of the fundamental problems that is driving up house prices: a lack of serviced urban land. Increased land and development capacity available for housing will support a more competitive urban land market, ultimately helping to bring down the cost of urban land. The bipartisan support seen in this House on this bill's introduction and general support from submitters in local government sends a strong signal that resolving local government funding and financing challenges is a priority that is something we can all be proud of.
