1 abr 2011 año - Productivity Commission examination of Housing Affordability

Descripción:

The Government requested the Productivity Commission to evaluate factors influencing the affordability of housing (both rental and owner-occupied housing) and examine potential opportunities to improve housing affordability. Specifically the Commission was asked to:
• identify and analyse all components of the cost and price of housing;
• identify mechanisms to improve the affordability of housing, with respect to both the demand and supply of housing and associated infrastructure; and
• identify the significant impediments to home ownership, and assess the feasibility and implications of reducing or removing such impediments.
The Government asked the Commission to give particular attention to a number of factors including:
• factors influencing the supply of land and basic infrastructure for residential construction;
• factors influencing the cost of residential construction;
• the level and growth of productivity in the land development and residential construction industries;
• the efficiency of taxes, levies and charges imposed at all stages of the housing supply chain;
• the efficiency of the tax treatment of owner-occupied and rental housing;
• the influence of changing consumer housing preferences, willingness to pay and financing costs on housing affordability; and
• the operation of the overall housing market, with specific reference to the availability of a range of public and private housing types, the demand for housing, and the efficiency of the existing residential housing stock.
The Productivity Commission was an independent Crown Entity, established under the New Zealand Productivity Commission Act 2010. Its research and advice was guided by a statutory purpose to improve the wellbeing of the community as a whole.
The Commission was scheduled to release an issues paper in June 2011 and provide its final report to Government in February 2012.
