Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: Decades of under-investment in housing infrastructure needed has created the national housing crisis that we are facing today. Investments of this scale in water, transport, and community infrastructure are vital to increase the pace at which we can unlock new homes where they are critically needed. Creating funding certainty for this additional infrastructure also works in tandem to deliver the infrastructure needed for intensification under the Government's National Policy Statement for Urban Development and the medium-density residential standards. It also allows the Government to continue with its public house build progress, continuing to progress to date—such as the 9,000 public houses and 3,425 additional transitional houses we've already delivered—the largest delivery in many decades.
