Subject: Housing targets don’t swing hammers Big targets are easy — finding 140,000 extra tradies is not

⚡️ Highlights:

1. Australia's Housing Accord requires regions to build more homes with fewer workers, with a projected shortfall of 140,000 tradies by 2029, particularly in regional areas.
2. Without targeted workforce reform focusing on apprentices, migration, women, training, and productivity, the Accord's goals are unlikely to be met.
3. The BuildSkills Housing Workforce Capacity Study highlights the critical shortage of workers needed to meet Australia's housing targets.
4. Regional areas are expected to deliver a significant portion of the homes under the Accord but face challenges in supplying the necessary workers.
5. The mismatch between housing targets and available workforce in regional Australia calls for strategic solutions to bridge the gap and ensure successful implementation of the Accord.
