    Property & Finance Podcast #40: Solving Australia's Housing Supply Crisis

    In this episode of Property & Finance, Theo Chambers is joined by Luke Berry, Founder and CEO of Thirdi Group, a residential developer with over $5 billion in gross realisation value currently under construction, to break down why Australia's housing supply crisis has become such a stubborn, structural problem.  Rather than rehashing the headlines, Theo and Luke get into the practical, on-the-ground realities of getting homes built today: the economics that make or break a development's feasibility, the policy settings that are helping (and hurting), and how the new NSW Low and Mid-Rise zoning reforms are playing out in practice.  The discussion covers everything from construction cost blowouts and financing constraints through to state significant development pathways, transport-oriented development, and why Luke believes build-to-rent and generational wealth transfer will help rebalance the market over the next 20 years.  In this episode, we cover:  Setting the scene: just how big is Australia's housing shortage?  Why developers aren't building enough homes, despite demand  The economics of development, including construction costs and required returns  Government policy: what's working and what's not  NSW planning reforms and LMR zoning changes explained  Reasons for optimism, including build-to-rent, co-living and transport-oriented development  Why the housing pipeline being approved today won't deliver homes for years  What genuine success in solving the housing crisis could look like in five years  If you want to understand what's really driving the housing shortage and what could actually fix it, this episode offers rare insight from someone building through the crisis every day.  🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.  Disclaimer:  The information shared on this podcast is of a general nature only and has been prepared without taking into account your particular financial needs, circumstances and objectives.
