The Great Australian Bottleneck

Why Australian property development feasibility, not demand, is limiting new supply.

Australia has the demand and, increasingly, the policy intent. It lacks the capacity to deliver economically viable development at pace. Green Street’s independent property research from the Australian Financial Review Property Summit in Sydney maps Australian property development feasibility sector by sector.

What is limiting Australian property development feasibility?

Three things: construction cost inflation, a trades workforce stretched across competing pipelines, and regulatory red tape. Together they suppress new supply, most acutely in residential, and create a tailwind for incumbent landlords across both residential and commercial.
