Report backs auction system for ACT land leases
A task force on land and housing in the ACT recommends continuing an auction system for a substantial proportion of new residential leases. The report argues supply and demand will stabilise land lease prices, potentially reducing the need for new restrictions. The issue fuels debate between the Minister for the Capital Territory Enderby and the Urban and Regional Development Minister Uren, with a submission readied for cabinet. The analysis notes Canberra’s growth objectives within the national urban strategy and the difficulty of aligning policies for land and housing amid structural separation from market forces.
