30,000 More Homes by 2030
Canberrans want more homes to build, buy and rent.
And that’s why a re-elected Barr Labor Government will deliver 30,000 more homes by 2030.
From new suburban housing to well-designed townhouses and duplexes in existing suburbs, Labor will deliver more housing choice right across Canberra.
And we know saving up to buy a home is a big challenge.
That’s why we’re making housing more affordable by removing stamp duty for first home buyers, pensioners and off the plan purchases. We’ve cut stamp duty every year since 2012, and now we’ll remove it entirely. It’ll mean no matter your income or the value of the property, you won’t pay a cent in stamp duty.
And when it comes to public, community and affordable homes – we'll deliver 5,000 additional dwellings by the end of 2030. It'll mean public and community housing increases every year so that more Canberrans have a place to call home when they need it most.
And we'll do it all while keeping the green spaces Canberrans know and love.
It’s all part of our progressive, practical and proven plan to deliver more homes – right across our city.
Because every Canberran deserves a place to call home.
