As identified by the just released HIA New Home Sales Report, “new home sales in the first three months of 2022 remained exceptionally strong, down by 2.8 per cent on the previous quarter, but still remaining well above pre-pandemic levels. Despite a difficult start to the year, with staff absences associated with the Omicron outbreak and extended holiday leave, new home sales continue to sustain levels usually associated with government stimulus. This demand continues to be driven by a shortage of homes and an acutely tight rental market that has resulted in rapid house price and rental price growth. Tighter lending conditions have had minimal impact on the market to date.
Most states saw an increase in sales in March 2022. New South Wales and Western Australia saw declines, though New South Wales has still been leading the nation, with a significant amount of latent demand remaining unsatisfied after HomeBuilder. The volume of work under construction and approved but not yet commenced will continue to keep builders busy across Australia, supporting strong levels of employment into 2023. Even as borders re-open and the functioning of supply chains improves, the salient constraint on builders this year will continue to be the availability of land, labour and materials. Shortages of shovel-ready land are especially likely to weigh on new home sales in the coming months as the pool of available land has been exhausted. Add to this another strong result for the value of renovations approved and the key indicators point to a strong project pipeline for 2022 and beyond.”
Dahlsens will continue to monitor supply chain challenges and costs closely. We are working around the clock to leverage our buying power in order to supply as many customers as possible and to minimise price impacts from our suppliers. We are confident that we are well placed to meet demand particularly for framing timber, however, we do forecast shortages of LVL as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The strength of our key suppliers and majority Australian made products play an important role in our ability to meet customer demand.
We ask that forward orders are placed by our customers as soon as requirements are known to assist us to support you.

INDUSTRY NEWS IN REVIEW
In the news: What’s in the Federal Budget for builders?
Master Builders Victoria (MBV) has welcomed the Federal Government’s announcement that it will be expanding its First Home Guarantee Scheme to help thousands more Victorians enter the property market.
MBV believes the scheme’s extension is another step in addressing housing affordability and will help more Victorians build and own their own home.
The Federal Government also announced last night it would commit an additional $2 billion in funding to NHFIC to support the delivery of affordable housing.
Meanwhile, MBV has welcomed the Commonwealth Government’s $365.3 million investment to support an extra 35,000 apprentices and trainees get into work, especially considering current skills shortages, including bricklayers, carpenters, and concreters.
MBV also supports the new Australian Apprenticeships Incentive Scheme from 1 July 2022, which will help address skills shortages by supporting employers and apprentices in priority occupations such as bricklayers, cabinet makers, carpenters, wall and floor tilers and roof plumbers.
$954 million will be provided over five years to support this. To encourage more women into trades, the Federal Government will provide $38.6 million over the next four years to allow additional support to women who commence trade occupations that are higher paying on the Australian Apprenticeships Priority List.

In the news: Boosting Apprenticeship Commencement Wage Subsidy
MBV welcomes the announcement from The Australian Government to extend the Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements (BAC) and the Completing Apprenticeship Commencements (CAC) wage support initiatives that support the recruitment of apprentices and trainees.
Enrolments for the Boosting Apprenticeship Commencement wage subsidy, which provides employers with 12 months of wage subsidy support, are being extended to the end of the 2021-22 financial year (June 30 2022).
Employers who take on an apprentice or trainee before June 30 will be able to have their wages subsidised by 50% for the first year – up to a maximum of $28,000. The wage subsidy will be reduced to 10% in the second year and 5% in the third year.

In the news: PEFC ruling on conflict timber to affect Australia for years to come
The decision by the world’s largest international forestry certifier to designate all timber originating from Russia and Belarus as ‘conflict timber’ banning this timber from being used in PEFC-certified products will have real and significant potential to impact on Australia’s construction needs in the decades to come. Source: Timberbiz
South Australian Forest Products Association CEO, Mr Nathan Paine said that with around 25% of Australia’s timber imports originating from Russia and former the Soviet Union or Russian-occupied countries of Belarus, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania this ban in addition to future instability in the region will have a detrimental impact on using imports to meet South Australia’s constructions needs.

In the news: Building The Good Life: RAI’s keys to addressing regional housing affordability issues
Incentives for country tradies and more diverse housing should combine with loan guarantees to boost affordable housing supply away from our capital cities, a new report recommends.
The Regional Australia Institute’s ‘Building The Good Life’ paper calls for a diverse approach to regional housing that ensures locals aren’t left behind amid mass migration to the regions.
It comes as the federal government matches Labor’s Regional First Home Buyer Support Scheme, which will give extra assistance to 10,000 families a year in regional areas.
