Northern Territory Housing Alliance

The Northern Territory Housing Alliance was established in October 2023 to deliver sustainable and affordable housing solutions for the Territory.

The alliance will bring together stakeholders from construction, community housing, and social services to share knowledge, resources and ideas to address the challenges and opportunities facing the Territory’s housing sector.

The objectives of the alliance are to:

This includes:

• to provide advice to government on how to build 11 000 homes over five years under the National Housing Accord
• identify opportunities to streamline and efficiently deliver the required increase in urban housing construction needed to meet targets across different segments of the housing market
• contribute to the identification of suitable land sites to increase the supply of social and affordable housing stock to assist meeting National Housing Accord requirements
• review and provide recommendations for possible initiatives to attract Territory and other investors to the Northern Territory housing sector
• provide research and advice to government on potential efficiencies that may be implemented to help reduce both immediate and long-term costs in building materials supply and labour
• address barriers and constraints facing supply chains as they relate to housing; and
• ensure that pragmatic, creative and practical solutions in line with national housing reform and funding are brought to the attention of government.

Mr Allan McGill has been announced as the Chair of the NT Housing Alliance.
