## Resource

We talk with Tom Forrest the CEO of the Urban Taskforce Australia, about why Australian property developers are navigating high construction costs, expensive finance and lengthy planning processes. Infrastructure requirements, environmental approvals, taxes and holding costs can all affect project feasibility. Even when housing demand, funding and suitable sites exist, delays can push development costs higher and ultimately make new homes more expensive for buyers.
