Victorian Planning Reform: Faster Approvals, Faster Projects

Planning approvals in as little as 10 days could be a game changer for developers, builders, and property owners.

Time is money. Faster approvals mean reduced holding costs, quicker project delivery, and greater certainty to get developments moving.

A streamlined planning system has the potential to unlock more housing and accelerate investment across Victoria.

While the market waits, smart developers are acting now.

For developers who understand market cycles, the major changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax could create a rare window of opportunity, particularly for those prepared to deliver new housing into an undersupplied market.

These changes favour housing creation, and will only see the demand for development sites increase over time.

Negative gearing remains for new builds.

CGT discounts continue to apply for new builds.

What this means for developers:

- Purchasing new builds becomes more attractive to investors
- New projects become easier to market from a tax perspective
- Reduced competition may improve site acquisition opportunities
- Projects that increase housing supply are strongly favoured
- Medium density development becomes more attractive

If you’re a developer looking to capitalise on this rare window of opportunity, now is the time to speak with Shane - 0438 585 733
