The survey of Property Council members found industry confidence remained steady, with the Confidence Index decreasing one point to 113 index points. A score of 100 in the Confidence Index is considered neutral.
Property Council of Australia Chief Executive Mike Zorbas said the industry remains broadly optimistic despite pressures from interest rates and inflation. “Confidence remains positive within the property industry, especially within individual businesses,” Mr Zorbas said.
Nationally, 41 per cent of respondents pinpointed housing supply and affordability as a top concern for the Australian Government.
“Addressing the lack of investment in planning systems that fail to adequately address the essential needs of all Australians is a must,” Mr Zorbas said. – September 2023
