Housing Supply

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (2 May 2024).

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning): I have been advised:

In South Australia, on average over 10 years (2013-2022), 10,700 dwellings have been built.

This figure dropped to 9,248 during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, whilst the peak number of dwellings created over the last 10 years was 14,073.

Based on the recent decline in building approvals, the number of dwellings built in 2024-25 is expected to decrease slightly but remain around the 10-year average.

However, beyond 2024-25, an increase in annual dwelling completions is expected to exceed the 10-year average, as the National Housing Accord and other housing stimulus measures—including those in the South Australian government's A Better Housing Future plan—take effect.
