This is a great resource which simply explains the proposed NSW Planning reforms.

Planning reform for housing in NSW – encouraging reforms but is more needed? In this Insight, we examine the in-fill affordable housing incentive bonuses, the two-part Transport Oriented Development Program and the proposals to use government land to increase housing supply.

When selecting a builder it’s not all about price. Some other considerations are quality, integrity, timeframe of the build, experience with similar builds, years in operation, pipeline/capacity, and additional services offered such as management of consultants and design advice to assist with cost efficiencies.

Looks like there is more supply pain to come in the building industry, judging by this article.

https://www.smh.com.au/property/living/something-needs-to-give-timber-scarcity-catastrophic-for-owners-and-builders-20211209-p59gbt.html?btis&fbclid=IwAR1rmNToSfJJbNmutzXa62dPrO9JN0FQ85ss1m6-QUWy-tD5YgUcDxn51-s

‘Something needs to give’: Timber scarcity chaos for owners and builders For some builders, the timber shortage has led to the collapse of their businesses. For some homeowners, it has resulted in budget blowouts and even the forced sale of a partially built house.

Looks like there is some tough times ahead for the construction industry. Interesting that this article claims it wasn’t supply chain however the Gov home builders grant that was driving shortages.
https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com.au/construction-boom-new-report/amp

Australia’s construction boom will hit a wall by 2022, according to a new report The almost 33% uptick in building projects since 2019 is unsustainable, and the construction boom will likely end by mid-2022.

Here we go! Let’s see if this news results in increased market demand due to people rushing to lock in.

Would you rather pay property tax once at the time of purchase or an annual property tax fee? Will this make property more affordable? I doubt it. Details of the reform can be found here.

Property tax reform Proposed changes to the NSW property tax system aim to give people the choice to pay an annual property tax rather than stamp duty and land tax (where applicable).

He's a tip for today. When communicating a colour to your painter make sure you write it down or spell it out. When I was young, in my early 20's doing my first reno I asked a painter to paint my 1 bedroom unit overlooking at ocean in Cronulla Chew Chew. A lovely light grey colour. When I returned from my weekend away I was shocked to see he'd painted the entire apartment Choo Choo! A dark purple colour. 🤣🤦‍♀️
