The interim National Housing Supply and Affordability Council (the Council) is responsible for advising the Government on options to improve housing supply and affordability across the housing spectrum, report on key issues in housing policy, and promote the regular collection and publication of data on housing supply and affordability.
The Council has initially been established as a non-statutory body within the Commonwealth Department of Treasury, supported by a dedicated Office of the Council, comprising secretariat and research staff from Treasury. Legislation to establish the Council as a statutory body has been introduced and is currently before Parliament.
