Government not bound by present land system says Enderby
The Minister for the Capital Territory Mr Enderby said the government was not committed to the current land distribution system. He argued land prices could be reduced in the future and that the notion of flooding the market to aid speculative builders did not apply when the government’s house building program faced skilled trades shortages. He noted earlier comments about land release and restrained blocks were warnings against bidding high, not policy promises.
