Victoria's Housing Statement

Finding an affordable home is becoming harder than ever before. That’s why this Housing Statement puts forward an ambitious plan to tackle the root of the problem: housing supply.

  • Good decisions made faster

    We’re reforming Victoria’s planning system to boost housing supply across the state – clearing the backlog and giving builders, buyers and renovators certainty about how long approvals will take.

  • Cheaper housing closer to where you work

    We’re making it easier to build more homes, with the best design standards, where Victorians want to live – that means going up and out, not just out.

  • Protecting renters' rights

    We’re closing loopholes that drive up the cost of living for renters, giving renters more certainty over their leases, living standards and finances and resolving tenancy disputes faster to keep them out of VCAT.

  • More social housing

    We’re building more social and affordable homes across Victoria – launching Australia’s biggest urban renewal project on top of our Big Housing Build.

  • A long-term housing plan

    We know our state will keep growing – and we know we’ll need a plan to manage that growth in the decades ahead.

  • New homes for regional Victoria

    As part of our work to build the 2.24 million homes Victoria will need by 2051, we're setting a regional target to build 425,600 of those homes across our regions.
