NSW COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES BALK AT GOVT DECISION TO STRIP COUNCILS OF PLANNING APPROVAL POWERS … IHAPS

June 1 2017

After Fairfax Media reported that a proposal to make IHAPs mandatory would be taken to cabinet, council representatives reacted strongly.

Keith Rhoades, the president of Local Government NSW said he was concerned making planning panels mandatory had the potential to “reduce the accountability and transparency of planning decisions.”

“Councils are accountable to the community where [local planning panels] are not,” Cr Rhoades said. “There is no accountability like the ballot box.”

NSW Government balks at decision to strip councils of approval powers

Jacob Saulwick Sean Nicholls

Some NSW or Sydney councils may retain the ability to grant or block development applications, after the state government balked at an immediate decision to hand those powers to independent panels.

Fairfax Media reported this week planning minister Anthony Roberts would seek cabinet approval on Thursday for a proposal to require all councils to set up and use panels to decide on development applications.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet and Minister for Planning and Housing Anthony Roberts unveiled a …

But the government instead said on Thursday it would canvass opinions on the so-called Independent Housing and Assessment Panels (IHAPS).

“We are going to be consulting on this,” the Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, said.

“Our intention is much greater use of IHAPS,” she said.

“But we also want to consult before we issue those new regulations to make sure communities feel that they are part of the decision-making process.”

The theory behind using independent panels is that while elected councillors are able to determine the shape of plans for an area through the development of a Local Environment Plan, the implementation and enforcement of that plan is left to independent experts.

The former planning minister, Rob Stokes, announced in January an intention to introduce regulation allowing the government to require a council to use a panel to decide planning applications.

But Mr Stokes, leery of another fight with local government, stopped short of mandating the use of IHAPS.

After Fairfax Media reported that a proposal to make IHAPs mandatory would be taken to cabinet, council representatives reacted strongly.

Keith Rhoades, the president of Local Government NSW said he was concerned making planning panels mandatory had the potential to “reduce the accountability and transparency of planning decisions.”

“Councils are accountable to the community where [local planning panels] are not,” Cr Rhoades said. “There is no accountability like the ballot box.”

Mr Roberts said on Thursday he would not comment on cabinet deliberations but was “incredibly happy with the outcome in respect to IHAPs.”

But he could not say what the government would do about them. “We firmly believe IHAPS play an important role and will play an important role as we move forward in developing solutions with respect to hosing affordability,” he said.

The Minister said he would, however, also give more powers to councillors from specific wards to develop plans for their neighbourhood.

“We will be empowering ward councillors to actually create and develop the LEPs rather than the council as a whole,” he said.

Murray-Darling Basin Plan: $8 billion spent and still the Coorong wetland is dying

Background Briefing

The Murray-Darling Basin Plan is six years in and Australian taxpayers have spent $8 billion on it so far — yet the internationally significant ecosystem at the end of the basin, the Coorong, is dying.

Listen to the full podcast


Over two episodes, reporter Sarah Dingle investigates serious allegations that the money spent has been for very little environmental gain.

The south lagoon of the Coorong lies at the very end of the Murray-Darling Basin in South Australia.

It’s salt water, but not as we know it — the south lagoon can be up to three times as salty as the sea.

Ecologist David Paton says it explains just how unique this place is: the Coorong gets gradually more salty as it runs more than 100 kilometres from the north lagoon down to the south, and as that happens the biodiversity changes too.

“As you come down that gradient the biodiversity changes from being lots of little fishes at the top end, and when you get to the south lagoon there’s just one fish that’s really salt tolerant,” Mr Paton said.

“Some people would know it as whitebait, but it’s hardyhead.

There’s one prominent invertebrate, it’s a little chironomid, and there’s one key aquatic plant, a plant called Ruppia tuberosa.”

One fish, one insect and one plant doesn’t sound like a rich habitat, but Mr Paton says it is quite the contrary — this bare-bones foundation can support a huge number of birds.

“Salinity has been its natural state for the last few hundred years, and the biota that’s in it clearly likes living in high salinity,” he said.

“Lots of people say high salinity usually reduces productivity, but the organisms that form this south lagoon system are highly productive, so you only need a few of them.”

So many birds come here to feed and nest that the Coorong has been declared a Ramsar-listed wetland.

The Ramsar Convention is an agreement to protect wetlands of international importance, and signatory countries promise to look after any wetlands within their borders which make it onto the list.

There are 16 Ramsar-listed wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin, but of all of them, the Coorong is supposed to have the greatest wealth of waterbirds.

That includes local species and the all-important migratory shorebirds — birds which fly to the Coorong every year, like the curlew sandpiper.

It’s a critically endangered species which travels from Siberia to the Coorong, where it spends the Australian summer fattening up before it takes flight again.

The Coorong also has the only permanent breeding ground for pelicans in South Australia, key habitats for other bird species, fish, and even the odd emu wanders down to the shore.

The early warning system

The Coorong isn’t just a pretty place with nice birds — it can tell us a lot about what’s going on with the health of the basin.

Rivers die from the mouth up, so if the very end of the Murray-Darling Basin system is struggling, that’s not a good sign for what’s happening up river.

What is the Murray-Darling Basin Plan again?


The Murray-Darling Basin Plan has remained controversial ever since its introduction back in 2012. So, what is it again and why is it back on the agenda?

Mr Paton has been collecting bird data here for the past 30 years, but in the last two years, during the Basin Plan, he says the numbers of the shorebird species which make this place so special have hit a record low.

The first year was bad — but what really worried Mr Paton was that in the following year, the birds couldn’t bounce back.

“It’s the shorebirds in particular which have been really low,” he says.

“If this was a healthy system, we would be typically getting 30-50,000 red-necked stints, 20-30,000 sharp tailed sandpipers, and curlew sandpipers, even under normal circumstances, we expect 5-10,000 — that’s just three species.

“And then there’s a suite of other things — banded stilts, black-winged stilts, which are an Australian species.

“Even in the middle of the millennium drought there was nearly 250,000 banded stilts in the south lagoon of the Coorong alone.”

David Paton stands on the shore of the Coorong.PHOTO: David Paton stands on the shore of the Coorong. (ABC News: Sarah Dingle)

So how many shorebirds has he seen in the Coorong in the past two years?

“I think we’ve seen 10-20,000 total in the Coorong in the last couple of years, and that’s across all species, not just the few common ones,” Mr Paton said.

Last summer’s bird count only registered 968 curlew sandpipers, when they should have numbered between 5,000 and 10,000, he explained.

‘This country does not care about nature’

A Background Briefing investigation has come across an internal South Australian Government document — a report on the Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) — which suggests they are preparing to lose up to 80 per cent of key species in the Coorong.

David Paton walks along a sandy dried lagoonPHOTO: David Paton on the dry south lagoon (ABC News: Sarah Dingle)

Breaching these limits means making an embarrassing confession to the Ramsar Wetland Convention and to the world.

This internal technical report shows the State Government knows the Coorong’s ecology is in real trouble, and on paper it’s already moving to re-frame the situation.

The report suggests re-defining the Limits of Acceptable Change for the Coorong, and setting them very low — at “greater than or equal to 80 per cent decline”.

It even gets into acceptable numbers of dead birds.

So if we look at just one species, the critically endangered curlew sandpiper, it suggests 4,092 birds could be lost from the south lagoon alone and on paper that would be acceptable.

Mr Paton says this would be sanctioning system collapse.

“We used to have tens of thousands of shorebirds here, you’d see them resting at times, the food base was much stronger,” he said.

“And we are just quietly kidding ourselves that we actually care about nature — this country does not care about nature.”

The South Australian Government has told Background Briefing that this report is not their official policy; it’s more like advice, and it will finalise its new policy sometime this year.

An environment spokesperson said since 2015, the waterbird LACs have had further refinements, including further statistical analysis.

They said the Government’s policy will come from the updated Ecological Character Description, expected to be completed by mid-2018.

Where has all the water gone?

Like other parts of the basin, the Coorong has been in slow decline since the 1980s when basin agriculture upstream became increasingly water-intensive.

The Basin Plan was supposed to rescue a basin in crisis, and ensure there was enough water to maintain a healthy environment and river system.

Despite the past six years of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan and a spend totalling $8 billion so far, there’s just not enough water coming down the river for the Coorong.

Not enough water means the lagoons of the Coorong can’t function as they normally do.

But there’s also a second, big problem.

In the last three or four years, the Coorong has had massive algal blooms.

Algae starving birds to death

The algae blooms over summer on the water, and it catches on the aquatic plant Ruppia tuberosa that lives in the salty south lagoon and rips it out.

No Ruppia means no food for the birds.

But it doesn’t stop there; the algae has bloomed and died, and now it cakes the shoreline.

It stinks, and it forms a bleached white carpet over the sand.

Remember that one insect that lives here, the coronomid?

It hatches out of the sand, but if there’s a layer of algae, very few of the insects can get through.

Most just die in place after hatching.

So the birds have no Ruppia tuberosa to eat and also no coronomid to eat — knocking out two of the three major pillars which support this ecosystem.

“Little sandpipers, red-necked stints and so on, their numbers have been dropping, but they’re spending up to 90 per cent of their daytime foraging when they’re here,” Mr Paton said.

“Any bird that spends 90 per cent of its time foraging in January two months before it’s due to fatten is struggling.

“It doesn’t have enough food.”

Algae-covered ground in the Coorong.PHOTO: Algae-covered ground in the Coorong. (ABC News: Sarah Dingle)

The result is what you’d expect: after flying to the Coorong sometimes from the other side of the world, the birds starve to death here.

You won’t see them on the shoreline, because the foxes eat the carcasses.

But Mr Paton says he realised the truth when he went out onto the little islands of the Coorong where there are no foxes.

“You find these dead emaciated shorebirds sitting in amongst the rocks where they’ve died, and sometimes you’ll find 20 or 30,” he said.

“Some of them are now listed as critically endangered.”

Warning: system crash imminent

The south lagoon of the Coorong is normally pretty salty.

The South Australian Government has built a drain there, which releases water coming off agricultural land.

This water is less salty than the Coorong, so it freshens the south lagoon — and because it’s come from farmland, it has a lot of nutrients in it.

“Everyone’s against the high salinities, so they say, ‘Oh, we’ve got a high salinity problem, we can solve that by putting water in through the south-east in the end of this highly saline lagoon which freshens that end’,” Mr Paton said.

“Two things which favour algal blooms: lowering the salinity and adding nutrients, so the whole of the south lagoon now has nutrients in it.”

Algae on riverbank and boats nearby tied up.PHOTO: Algae on a riverbank in the Coorong. (ABC News: Sarah Dingle)

This drain is about to expand significantly under a South Australian Government project called the South East Flows Restoration Project, but very soon it could be officially counted under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

There’s a key vote due to come before the Senate when it sits in May.

At stake is whether Australia recovers any more water for the environment under the Basin Plan.

The states say the basin’s river systems don’t need any more water returned to them.

They say they can build engineering structures which will achieve “equivalent environmental outcomes”.

The project above that’s adding nutrients to the water? That’s one of those engineering structures.

The South East Flows Restoration Project website says to keep the salty south lagoon healthy there has to be between 60 and 100 grams of salt per litre in the water.

But according to documents released to the Senate, the South East Flows Restoration Project will dump agricultural water in the Coorong when salinity is as low as 60 grams per litre.

That level is the very bottom of what even the South Australian Government itself says is healthy.

Green algae on the shore of the Coorong river.PHOTO: Green algae on the shore of the Coorong river. (ABC News: Sarah Dingle)

So by kicking in at 60 grams per litre, the drain will take the lagoon out of a healthy range.

Mr Paton says that will cause the whole system to crash.

“Putting in the volumes that they want to put in is going to cause environmental damage to this system,” he said.

It’s going to lower the salinity — it already has in places, so, nutrients and salinity are going to favour algae.

“The Coorong is already responding negatively to what’s coming in and it’s going to be a lot worse.”

Background Briefing asked Mr Paton if the Coorong should be blacklisted by the international community of Ramsar if the South East Flows Restoration Project goes ahead.

He didn’t hesitate.

“Absolutely, it should probably have been blacklisted some time ago, because we were failing to meet our obligations under international agreements,” he says.

Background Briefing has a special two-part investigation into the Murray Darling Basin beginning on April 26.

OWNERSHIP OF OTHER RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY … ABS

http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/4130.0~2015-16~Main%20Features~Ownership%20of%20Other%20Residential%20Property~10000

Many Australians own a residential property other than the one they currently reside in. In 2015–16 there were 1.78 million households that owned residential property other than their usual residence. Such properties include those that are being rented out as residential investment properties and those used for other purposes, such as holiday homes.

Most households (72%) who owned other residential property owned a single property. Around one in twenty households (5%) who owned other property owned four or more properties.

Owner occupiers were more likely to own additional residential property, with around 1.39 million owner households owning other residential property. This compares to 342,000 households who own other residential property but are renting their usual residence.

Almost four in ten households who owned another residential property, excluding their current dwelling (38%) belonged to the highest quintile of equivalised disposable household income, while just over one in 10 of those households (11%) were in the lowest quintile of equivalised disposable household income.

Considering the value of other residential property, for 81% of households that owned this type of asset, the worth of these was under $1 million, whereas 6% of households who owned other residential property had in excess of $2 million worth of these assets.

NEGATIVE GEARING LIES RESURFACE

KEY POINTS:

-Labor argues that 70 per cent of the value of benefits of negative gearing went to the wealthiest 10 per cent

-Taxable income is the wrong measure to use as it is the income that is left over after various deductions like negative gearing

-October 2017 the ABS released its Housing Occupancy and Costs, 2015-16, which revealed that it is primarily higher income earners engaged in negative gearing

So much for the claim that “Labor’s policy to slash the widely used practice would hit more lower-income earners with only one investment property”.

Negative gearing lies resurface

By Unconventional Economist in Australian Property

April 27, 2018
By Leith van Onselen

Treasury analysis of Australian Taxation Office (ATO) data from 2015-16 suggests that people with taxable incomes of less than $80,000 a year would be hardest hit by Labor’s proposed negative gearing reforms. From The Australian:

Almost two-thirds of all investors who negatively geared property were on taxable incomes of less than $80,000 a year, according to new tax office data that suggests Labor’s policy to slash the widely used practice would hit more lower-income earners with only one investment property…

The statistics also included figures on the number and occupations of people affected by Labor’s $20bn plan to scrap negative gearing on new purchases of existing properties, showing 62 per cent were on taxable incomes of under $80,000 a year.

*Labor has rejected claims that lower income earners would be hit by scrapping negative gearing, arguing that 70 per cent of the value of benefits from the practice went to the wealthiest 10 per cent. “Despite spurious claims being made about the benefits of negative gearing being overwhelmingly claimed by nurses and policemen, the evidence from analysis by the Grattan Institute shows that in fact it is finance managers and anaesthetists that benefit from these investment subsidies,” Labor’s policy document says.

*Taxable income is the wrong measure to use at it is the income that is left over after various deductions like negative gearing.

In October, the ABS has released its Housing Occupancy and Costs, 2015-16, which reveals that it is not ordinary “mums and dads” that are primarily engaged in negative gearing, but rather higher income earners [my emphasis]:

Many Australians own a residential property other than the one they currently reside in. In 2015–16 there were 1.78 million households that owned residential property other than their usual residence. Such properties include those that are being rented out as residential investment properties and those used for other purposes, such as holiday homes.

Most households (72%) who owned other residential property owned a single property. Around one in twenty households (5%) who owned other property owned four or more properties.

Owner occupiers were more likely to own additional residential property, with around 1.39 million owner households owning other residential property. This compares to 342,000 households who own other residential property but are renting their usual residence.

Almost four in ten households who owned another residential property, excluding their current dwelling (38%) belonged to the highest quintile of equivalised disposable household income, while just over one in 10 of those households (11%) were in the lowest quintile of equivalised disposable household income.

*According to the ABS, the top 40% of households accounted for 61.8% of all housing investors in 2015-16, comprising 38.4% in the highest income quintile and 23.4% in the fourth income quintile.

So much for the claim that “Labor’s policy to slash the widely used practice would hit more lower-income earners with only one investment property”.

NSW GOVT PRIVATISING THE PROFITS AND SOCIALISING THE COSTS OF MASS IMMIGRATION

OBVIOUSLY toll road operators, retailers, banks and property developers enjoy the easy growth in profits and revenue that come from ever expanding immigration

MEANWHILE Sydneysiders suffer from the increased competition and reduced bargaining power at work …

-rising housing costs
-rising infrastructure costs
-schools, hospitals, trains and buses are all full-up
-longer and more expensive commutes

RALLY! DO SOMETHIN’ You’re Somebody write to your local MPs, candidates

Privatising the profits and socialising the costs of mass immigration

Privatising the profits and socialising the costs of mass immigration

By Unconventional Economist in Australian Economy
April 30, 2018
By Leith van Onselen

While residents of Sydney and Melbourne are suffering from crush-loaded roads, trains, schools, hospitals, and prisons, as well as hideously expensive housing, toll road company Transurban is the front-runner to buy Sydney’s WestConnex toll road, which means it will own the bulk of Sydney’s toll roads. From The SMH:

…one of the bidders for the [WestConnex] motorway – Transurban – already owns the concessions for the bulk of the city’s toll roads. What does it mean to have so many of our motorways in the hands of one company? What might it mean to have more?..

Within the last decade, Transurban’s share price has almost doubled, giving it a market value of more than $25 billion. Of the 99 kilometres of toll roads in Sydney, 95 kilometres are either majority or half-owned by Transurban…

People wary of Transurban’s rise refer to the way in which the company has appeared able to get governments to do what it wants… “They’ve been able to invest so that they’re in a monopoly position for the future,” Tony Harris, a former auditor-general, says of Transurban…

“There aren’t that many road projects in Sydney,” says one infrastructure advisor. “If Transurban wins WestConnex, they have effectively locked up the east coast tollway market.”

In February, Transurban reported a massive lift in profits as Australia’s mass immigration ‘Big Australia’ policy continues to feed customers into Sydney and Melbourne:

The tollroad company is benefiting from higher revenues in its road development and tolling businesses…

Net profits for the six months to June rose 280 per cent from $88 million a year earlier…

Transurban makes its highest profit margins in Melbourne, where margins run at 88.5 per cent, and Sydney, where margins run at 81.2 per cent.

Group toll revenues rose 9.6 per cent to $1.13 billion, while construction revenues jumped 69 per cent to $462 million.

Toll revenue increases were driven by both traffic growth and higher toll fares…

This folks is Australia’s population ponzi economy in action. It’s a model of growth where corporate Australia privatises the gains from mass immigration and socialises the costs on everyone else.

Former treasury secretary turned NAB chairman, Ken Henry, explained this model in a speech last year:

Research NAB carried out earlier in the year showed that among our customers there’s not wholesale support for a larger Australia. For many, the prospect of a higher Australian population means more stress in the ability to buy a house, to live where you want to live, to get to work with a reasonable commute time. And many in the community are also concerned about our ability, as a nation, to maintain norms of Australian social and economic inclusion, and to continue to provide access to high quality services in areas such as healthcare and education…

But what is the business perspective? The same NAB research showed that most of our business customers would strongly prefer a larger population, which supports better business growth.

With Australia’s two biggest cities desperately trying to build infrastructure to keep pace with the population ponzi, private companies like Transurban are facing further strong profit growth, paid for by ordinary motorists like you and me.

For example, the Victorian Government’s $6.7 billion West Gate Tunnel Project will see Transurban contribute $4.4 billion towards the cost, but in exchange motorists will have to pay additional tolls on CityLink until 2045 estimated at $15 billion. It’s a sweet deal for Transurban, but a dud deal for Melbourne motorists.

In a similar vein, Sydney’s $17 billion WestConnex project will see existing free public roads like the state-owned M4 (that have already been paid off) being tolled to help fund the project. Toll are contracted to rise by 4% per year for the 43 years, thus raising costs for residents.

Clearly, private businesses like toll road operators, retailers, banks and property developers get to enjoy the easy growth in revenue and profits that come from an ever expanding customer base, whereas households suffer from the increased competition and reduced bargaining power at work, rising housing costs, rising infrastructure costs, and longer and more expensive commutes.

Supply increase makes no impact on Sydney’s rental market as tenants struggle to pay

Sydney’s rental market is tough

PHOTO: The Sydney rental market is still unaffordable for people on lower incomes (ABC News )

RELATED STORY: Australian property ‘severely unaffordable’ by global standards

RELATED STORY: The truth about living in Sydney: Everyone has an escape plan

RELATED STORY: Rental market crisis ‘failing many Australians’

A 28 per cent increase in supply across Sydney’s rental market has failed to push down prices, with less than 1 per cent of properties in Sydney’s market considered “affordable”, a survey of rental properties has revealed.

The Anglicare Rental Affordability Snapshot surveys all the private rentals available in Australia over a weekend in March.

This year Sydney ranked the worst of all major cities with only 57 out of the more than 18,000 private rental properties canvassed across Sydney and Illawarra — or less than 1 per cent — deemed affordable for people on income support payments.

The national rate was 6 per cent.

None of the private rental properties in the Sydney area were suitable for single people on Newstart or Youth Allowance.

“There were only half a dozen available out of that 18,000 for families that were a couple with two children on Newstart,” Anglicare’s head of research and advocacy Susan King said.

“We found that for single parents on a parenting payment there was nothing available, for a single parent on Newstart with one child it was the same.”

Rental properties are considered “affordable” if they cost up to 30 per cent of a person’s income.

Western Sydney homelessness growing

Western Sydney mother of three Siale Hausia said the stress of paying rent left her constantly on edge.

In 2016 she was a stay-at-home mother when her then-husband lost his job.

Without a stable income, their $550-a-week rent became too much.

The financial pressure took a toll on their marriage, and Ms Hausia and her children ended up staying with a cousin in her one bedroom home.

Eventually, they ended up in a refuge.

“I didn’t have any choice, I had to go to community centres to ask for help,” Ms Hausia said.

“The only option I had was a refuge because there’s no way they give a single mother of three kids living on Centrelink a place, there’s no way.”

The latest census data on homelessness shows a startling increase in Sydney’s west.

Between 2011 and 2016 the number of homeless people in the Parramatta area more than doubled; the south-western suburbs went from 2,100 to 3,071 homeless people and homelessness in the inner-south-western suburbs grew by more than 50 per cent.

Ms Hausia said it took five or six months to find somewhere suitable to live. She now works as a disability support worker.

But she still worries about not being able to pay the rent.

“You’re living on the edge because you don’t know what’s going to happen next,” she said.

“They might cut your Centrelink, and then you can’t afford the rent and you have to leave, or they put up the rent and you can’t afford it.

“I never say no to work, I work hard to not go back to refuge and not go back to being homeless. I don’t want my kids to go through that ever again.”

More public housing desperately needed: Anglicare
Ms King said an increase in supply has not helped low income earners, and there needs to be an increase in public housing.

“Even though there are 28 per cent more listings available it hasn’t translated to increased affordability,” she said.

“There’s a huge crisis in terms of public housing and the lack of public housing in NSW — there’s very long waiting lists, you’ve got a lot of people queueing up.

“Until those issues are resolved I think the private rental market is still going to be very, very tight for most people.”

Government defends housing policies

The NSW Government has defended its public housing policies and pointed to its long-term plans to increase the number of affordable rental homes.

A statement from the Department of Family and Community Services said the Government was undertaking the biggest social housing building program in the country to deliver 23,000 social and 500 affordable homes by 2026.

“The program includes five major sites for development in Sydney and Greater Sydney including the Ivanhoe Estate,” the statement said.

“The sale of ageing social housing in Millers Point is financing the construction of social housing across the wider Sydney area, including Bankstown, Canterbury, Liverpool and Fairfield areas and the Sutherland and Wollongong areas.

“As of March 2018, a total of 872 units have been completed and 310 units are currently under construction as a result of the Millers Point sales.

“In total, more than 1,500 new homes will be provided for some of the most vulnerable people in New South Wales as a result of the Millers Point sale, including many on the social housing waiting list.”

However, Opposition housing spokeswoman Tania Mihailuk said the data showed the Government’s housing strategy was failing.

“The latest data cast doubt on the Premier’s assertion that adding new housing supply improves affordability,” she said.

“If you don’t actually mandate affordable housing targets when you are increasing supply, you just end up with more unaffordable properties.”

THE GAME OF MATES: AUSTRALIA’S PROPERTY INDUSTRY IS RACKED WITH POLITICAL FAVOURITISM

THIS is a thorough report however, what escaped mention is that of the 100% sell off of Australian “new homes” to wealthy foreign buyers … perhaps that is the last nail in the coffin?

Australia’s Property Industry is Racked with Political Favouritism

by Andrew Heaton September 19th, 2017

If you wanted to strike it rich in property, one way would be to buy land on the outskirts of metropolitan areas, wait for it to be rezoned into residential use, and reap windfall gains by either selling to a developer or building on it yourself.

Ordinary mum and dad investors, however, stand little or no chance of doing this.

In a 2015 study, University of Queensland economists Cameron Murray and Paul Frijters looked at six selected areas in which decision making about rezoning was taken from local councils and assumed by the state’s Urban Land Development Authority.

The change in decision making authority took place over a six-year period spanning 2007 to 2012 under a program designed to boost housing supply and increase the speed and scale of residential development within those areas.

Murray and Frijters then used micro-level data from multiple sources to compare the relationship characteristics both inside and outside the ULDA areas and to compare outcomes for landowners who were considered to be well connected with those experienced by less well connected owners.

Their findings were revealing. ‘Corporate’ owners (i.e. property development companies) owned 75.3 per cent of the land which was rezoned but just 12.5 per cent of the land nearby outside of the rezoned areas.

Members of the Property Council of Australia and the Urban Development Institute of Australia owned almost 40 per cent and 23.5 per cent of the land within the rezoned areas respectively but owned just over one per cent of the land in the nearby surrounds.

Political donors owned 40 per cent of the land inside the rezoned areas but just 1.5 per cent of the land outside.

Hiring a professional lobbyist increased your chances of having your land rezoned by 37 per cent. Being part of a ‘connected’ network did likewise by 25 per cent. Of the $710 million worth of gains which Murray and Frijters calculated were derived from the uplift in values during these rezoning periods, around $410 million was captured by ‘connected’ landowners.

Well connected parties did not simply own land in the right areas. When they looked at areas which had been rezoned, Murray and Frijters found some strange shapes which could not be explained by rational decision making.

The above study underscored an ugly truth about how political decision making in Australia is influenced not just by public interest considerations but also the vested interests of powerful stakeholders. In the property sector, this includes the development industry itself but extends to other powerful groups such as existing home owners and residential property investors.

Less powerful groups such as renters, other would-be home owners and public housing tenants get a raw deal – as can broader public interest considerations. This extends beyond rezoning to policy areas which impact housing and rental affordability as well as public housing provision.

According to Murray and Frijters, this phenomenon affects more than just the property sector. In their recent book Game of Mates, the two economists argue that the idea of favouritism extends across many areas of the broader economy.

Nicolas Gruen, chief executive officer of economic consultancy and public policy advisory Lateral Economics, divides stakeholders into four categories: the development industry, existing property owners, those who would like to buy a home (renters or those living with parents) and the broader aesthetics of the built environment. The latter groups he said, often get a raw deal compared with the former.

As well as their lack of political influence, Gruen says part of the challenge for the latter groups arises from their interests being impacted not by single individual decisions but rather by the cumulative effect of a large number of individual decisions.

Interests of would-be home owners in terms of housing affordability, for example, are impacted not by an individual decision to approve or block any one development but rather by the overall impact of a large number of decisions which cumulatively effect available housing supply. As a result, he said, it becomes difficult for the public interest to inject itself into decision making mechanisms regarding individual projects notwithstanding the fact that these decisions will deliver an overall cumulative impact.

A particular area which Gruen says has not been well served is the aesthetic interest. Whereas many public buildings constructed from around the 1890s through to the 1920s and 30s had good character and were nice to look at, much of the new stock nowadays is bland. As a result, he says, cities such as Sydney and Melbourne in Australia and Paris overseas were beautiful places prior to the 1950s but are witnessing a considerable volume of new stock which is less aesthetically pleasing.

“The interests of both developers and locals are well represented and powerfully represented,” Gruen said.

“Local residents have been very successful at slowing densification and local development. That’s in their interests as they judge it but not in the interests of outsiders who might want to live in that area because it pushes up house prices. That represents a very large problem for us.

“Developers interests are well represented because there is a lot of money at stake and they make a large windfall from decisions about property – most particularly rezoning. That goes into all kinds of activities – legal and legitimate or otherwise and borderline.

“But through all that, the interests of the community get short shrift.”

According to Murray, the most affected area is land rezoning. Indeed, he talks of an industry which can be divided into two sides.

First, he says there is the ‘construction’ side of the industry which builds homes adds to housing supply.

Second, he talks of a ‘property development’ side. In this side of the industry, Murray says developers make large amounts of money by buying up agricultural or industrial land and then working their connections to have the land rezoned for residential use. This, he says, sees the value of land holdings multiply by several times and is where much of the money is made.

Once land has been rezoned, Murray says developers further lobby to have taxpayers fork out billions of dollars to put in roads, rail lines and utilities – a process which further inflates the value of developer holdings yet is paid for by taxpayers.

He talks of an industry mired in potentially illegal corruption but more so ‘grey’ corruption. This, he says, is where developers use legal means (such as employing lobbyists) to gain a decision-making outcome which is more favourable to them than would be the case with an ordinary outcome in which decisions were influenced solely by public interest.

“A lot of the time, it’s about buying land such as a farm or an industrial building, paying the value of the land for that use and then lobbying either the council or the state government to change what you can do on that land to then be able to build, for example, a high-rise apartment building on that industrial site,” Murray said.

“What you are getting is a different property right than what you paid for. You paid the seller the right to run an industrial warehouse. What you are getting when you make that rezoning application, is that you are surrendering one property right and getting one which is worth a whole lot more to build a high-rise building or whatever you propose. You paid the previous seller for one right at one price and you make an application and the government grants it on behalf of everybody – the right to use it for something which is worth a whole lot more.

“This is the whole industry. This is how the big developers make money.”

A means by which this happens, Murray said, involves a revolving door in terms of employment between the public sector and private sector developers. He says many employed in state or local government planning roles have either previously worked for private developers or have gone on to do so after leaving public office – a process he says enables implicit favours given to private developers whilst the person was in public office to be repaid.

Professor Peter Phibbs, a planner and social economist at Sydney University, says the degree of vested interest influence over land rezoning was borne out by the Murray and Frijters.

Phibbs agrees about the revolving door. In New South Wales, he says, the number of those who go from working within the planning department or from being on planning panels to subsequently working for private sector developers is concerning. He is aware of one case where a person was serving on a planning panel one month and the following month after leaving was engaged as a consultant to a developer who was trying to get a decision through that panel. Whilst emphasising that he was not suggesting wrongdoing, Phibbs says such situations reinforce negative perceptions amongst the public.

“If you look at New South Wales, a number of people have rolled out of the Department of Planning and ended up working for private companies and developers,” Phibbs said. “I don’t think that’s a great look.

“I think if you are a member of the public and one month you go there and a person is sitting on a panel and next month they are arguing the case for the developer for a planning proposal, it’s not a good look.”

At a broader level, Phibbs says many feel there is an imbalance of access to decision makers. Such fears are not unfounded. A scan of appointments in the diary of NSW Planning Minister Anthony Roberts over three months from April to June this year, for example, shows that around half of his meetings about policy which were not with other ministers or MPs were in fact with private companies or industry lobby groups. Whilst again there is no suggestion of wrongdoing, this does suggest that influential stakeholders enjoy access to ministers at a level beyond that enjoyed by ordinary members of the public.

Beyond land rezoning and infrastructure, favouritism also impacts decisions housing and rental affordability decisions.

Assuming you hold income levels and monetary policy settings constant, there are effectively two ways in which housing can be made more affordable.

First, you could encourage greater volumes of new housing at lower pricing points. This could be achieved by opening up new greenfield areas, delivering more housing in regional cities or by encouraging units and flats rather than detached houses.

Beyond that, housing can only be made more affordable by making houses cheaper – reducing the value of property or at least limiting the pace at which it is increasing. This might be welcomed by the 30.9 per cent of Australians whom the ABS says currently rent their homes or by others who want to enter the market but would be opposed by two more powerful groups.

First, the cashed-up development lobby has no interest in housing being cheaper as this would mean their stock would sell for less. Moreover, there are existing home owners for whom reduced home values would lead to a lower base of net wealth. Comprising almost two-thirds of all Australians, this voter cohort outnumbers renters and those wanting to enter the market by more than two to one. Compared with their renting counterparts, owners are also typically wealthier and more politically active.

The upshot, Murray says, is that politicians might want to make housing more affordable but will not do anything to make housing cheaper.

In this environment, Phibbs says, politicians make noises about affordability but have done little other than first-home-buyer handouts – a phenomenon he says will change as renters grow in number and existing home owners increasingly see their children locked out of the market.

In rental affordability, as well, Murray points out that the needs of tenants for affordable (and thus cheaper) rents butts up against those of the wealthier and more politically active cohort of investors who want to maximise the return they derive from their investment.

Not only is the power of existing home owners and investors a factor in politicians not wanting to make housing cheaper, it is also a direct factor in decisions regarding tax concessions and planning.

On tax concessions, the Coalition at least does not wish to remove these for fear of backlash among a significant part of their voter base.

On planning, development within urban infill areas and especially in established middle suburbs often encounters fierce resistance from local property owners irrespective of the broader need for greater housing supply in these areas.

Again, the wealthy and politically active are favoured.

When new residential zones were introduced throughout Victoria in 2013, local councils in wealthy Melbourne municipalities such as Bayside, Glen Eira and Boroondara rushed to apply the most restrictive of the zones to three quarters of their municipalities despite their municipalities being well serviced by transport links, cultural and education facilities and having close proximity to employment opportunities.
*
Finally, there are the least powerful stakeholders: social housing tenants. Over the five years to June 2017, the number of public sector houses approved for construction throughout Australia came in at just 17,012 – the lowest rate of building for several decades and less than half of the 38,448 public houses approved over the same period 20 years earlier. This is happening as around 200,000 sit on social housing waiting lists (AIHW statistics, June 2016).

The quality of that housing is not great. In a recent survey conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, half of all public housing tenants reported at least one structural problem such as major cracks or rising damp with their dwelling. One in six dwellings had three or more serious structural problems.

These people are too few in number and too politically inactive for their voice to be heard. Numbering around 817,300 (excluding those on waiting lists), social housing tenants comprise less than four per cent of the population. Moreover, with this cohort being seen as largely ‘Safe Labour’ voters, neither major party expends much energy in battling over their vote.

Because of this, Murray says there is ‘no political appetite whatsoever’ for public housing investment.

Murray says the consequences of all this are serious. In regard to the land rezoning and infrastructure provision, he says taxpayers are handing billions of dollars’ worth of gains each year to private developers.

Due to influence associated with political favouritism, these decisions are not necessarily reflecting the best interests of society.

Spending billions in taxpayer money to put railways out to some wasteland where influential developers have land holdings is wasteful, he said.

Finally, favouritism of toward existing home owners and the consequential failure to address housing affordability is leading to a significant social divide.

He says action is needed across several areas. First, he would like to see the removal of tax concessions for residential property investment.

More social housing should also be constructed, and this should be done according to a needs-based system.
Rights of long-term renters should also be improved along the lines of models adopted in some European countries which limit the ability of landlords to increase rents.

Beyond that, he would like to see action to reduce the opportunity and incentive for favouritism and corruption to occur.
To address the ‘revolving door’, he would like restrictions upon the ability of those who work in public sector planning roles to accept private sector work in the development industry for a set time after they leave public office.

Moreover, to reduce the overall incentive for grey corruption to occur, he would like to see the implementation of value capture measures. In particular, he would other states and territories to follow the current system in the ACT, whereby landowners who apply to have their land rezoned pay an upfront charge equal to 75 per cent of the assessed uplift in land values which occur from the rezoning.

Under that system, the gains associated with the revaluation are split 75/25 between taxpayers and the developer. Merely doing across all other states and territories, he says could raise $11 billion per year for taxpayers.

Likewise, additional value capture mechanisms such as taxes on the unimproved value of land would enable taxpayers to automatically capture back part of the uplift in land values which occurs as a result of public sector infrastructure investments.

He says the best way to tackle corruption of any kind – legal or otherwise – is to reduce the size of the value which can be gained from such activities.

Phibbs agrees that restrictions on the ability of those involved in public sector planning decisions to work for private developers for a period after leaving public office are needed.

To improve transparency, meanwhile, he would like every rezoning decision to be made public along with an assessment of the uplift in land value associated with that decision and contact details of those involved with the decision.

This, he argues, would make gains associated with land rezoning more transparent and would make those involved in decision making more accountable.

Gruen agrees that capturing back the value of any gain is essential. He says a betterment tax like that first proposed in the 1890s by American Economist Henry Gorge under which tax is levied on increases in the unimproved capital value of the land would be one of the few taxes which did not harm economic efficiency and was fair.

Australia relies on its politicians and public-sector staff to act in the public’s best interest at all times.

Despite the best efforts of many, it seems that decision making is largely impacted by the vested interests of powerful stakeholders.

HOMELESSNESS IN NSW JUMPS BY MORE THAN 30 PER CENT

HOMELESSNESS IN NSW JUMPS BY MORE THAN 30 PER CENT

NSW has recorded the most severe jump in homelessness between the 2011 and 2016 Census … coinciding with the LNP gaining control of Government in NSW!

During that time the government has sold off much of its Public Housing Estates … alleging to raise revenue … to developers for private apartment development … with up to 100% of that development being sold to foreign buyers

$BILLIONS of Our Public Assets have been transferred in a pipeline to “the Mates”!

The job of a government is to ensure the infrastructure is there for Society!  Also despite

$Billions in Stamp Duty coffers … it appears the revenue is either being retained or wasted on very bad infrastructure projects like WestConnex, NorthConnex, the Eastern Suburbs light rail, the NorthWest Metro … all of which are to be privatised!

Tenants of Public Housing – which incidentally has been transferred to Charities in the Social Housing Sector – lose their friends, family and social networks as they are forced to accept accommodation far flung from where they have resided. Some redevelopment of housing has occurred in the urban fringes making it also difficult for people to find work, and transport!

Homelessness in NSW jumps by more than 30 per cent

By James Robertson & Miki Perkins
14 March 2018

The number of people who are homeless in NSW has soared by more than one-third, with newly released census data showing people living in “severely” overcrowded dwellings are the greatest contributor to this increase.

NSW recorded the most severe jump in homelessness of any state or territory between the 2016 and 2011 censuses. In 2011 the number of homeless people in NSW was 28,191 but reached 37,715 last census night, the statistics bureau found.

In the City of Sydney (ABS data is divided up by local government area), the number of people who were homeless on census night increased by almost 70 per cent.

Accounting for all categories of homelessness, from those “sleeping rough” to people who are couch surfing, the state’s 37 per cent increase was more than double the national average of 14 per cent.

But the largest increase was recorded in the categories of people living in overcrowded dwellings, which rose by just under 75 per cent, and young people aged between 19 and 24, whose numbers rose more than 90 per cent.

Housing stress pushed Tykara Lang into homelessness at a time when most teenagers’ lives are defined by the stress of preparing for HSC exams.

Ms Lang, 19, was seeking new accommodation after living with her grandmother whose lease expired when she moved into an aged-care facility, and as the teenager’s HSC trials were coming up.

She was able to find temporary accommodation but in less than ideal circumstances.

“It was a rough arrangement. I was doing my half-yearlies for the HSC and living in a [place mainly for] people for drug and alcohol problems, which I don’t [have].
“But a bed had just opened up.”

Ms Lang found help from Mission Australia after looking them up online. The organisation provided her with a case worker and advocate who found her new temporary accommodation in the inner-city she shares with one flatmate.

Despite the challenges she faced in year 12 Ms Lang has recently started studying nursing at TAFE and has secured transitional accommodation she shares with one housemate while she studies.

But advocates decried the latest statistics as an international embarrassment and said outcomes like Ms Lang’s were increasingly rare as many of the state’s homelessness services now verged on breaking point.

The chief executive of St Vincent de Paul Society NSW, Jack de Groot, said: “It’s time for the state government tells us its plan to deal with the issue.”

The CEO of Mission Australia, James Toomey, said national figures showing 116,000 people homeless in 2016 reflected the need for co-ordinated federal action.

The CEO of Homelessness NSW, Katherine McKernan, said an increase in homelessness during a five-year period when the state and the state government were enjoying sustained economic growth was not acceptable.

The state government last year committed to tender a second tranche of social housing for its 3400-home social housing fund, which is backed by more than $1 billion in investment.

But Ms McKernan said with only 1 per cent of housing in the greater city accessible to those on low incomes, large-scale investment in more social housing was needed quickly. The waiting list for public housing in NSW now runs to 60,000 people.

Ms Lang, who attributed support from nurses during difficult hospital stays in her youth inspired her choice of study, said support from Mission Australia had provided a case worker, psychologist and dietitian that had helped her not just to find a new path in life but to maintain her mental health after being diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder in her youth.

But so, too, has the routine of home.

“Everyone thrives on stability,” she said. “Knowing where I’m going to be tomorrow helps so much.”

THINK THERE ARE NO HOMELESS PEOPLE IN YOUR AREA? THINK AGAIN

 

Interactive Digital Storytelling team

By Catherine Hanrahan

Updated 

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has released 2016 Census data showing more than 100,000 Australians are homeless — and revealing they live in virtually every part of the country.

The Council of Homeless People says the map shows homelessness is a “national epidemic”.

See how many homeless people are in your suburb. You can zoom, pan or enter your suburb and state (eg. Camp Hill, Qld) to search.

https://abc-news.carto.com/u/abcnews-admin/builder/7a63be9d-8863-46a2-954e-1d1bebb04db6/embed?abcnewsembedheight=500EMBED: Map of homeless people

The homeless rate across the country is 50 people per 10,000, with high numbers of homeless both in highly populated city centres but also in regional areas.

To understand why, it is worth looking at how the ABS defines homelessness.

As well as people sleeping rough, it also includes people in shelters, boarding houses, temporary housing or those living in severely crowded houses.

Demographer Liz Allen from ANU said homelessness was not about the absence of a roof, but the absence of a secure home.

“Australia has a problem with housing that goes beyond the traditional idea of sleeping rough,” she said.

“It would surprise many people to know people next door in a middle-class neighbourhood could be experiencing homelessness.

The largest category, representing nearly half of those people counted as homeless, is overcrowding and two-thirds of people in that category were born overseas.

Severely crowded dwellings are defined as requiring four or more extra bedrooms to house the people who usually live there and according to the ABS, was the greatest contributor to the national increase in homelessness of nearly 5 per cent since the last census.

Indigenous people represent 20 per cent of the homeless, and nearly three-quarters of those were living in severely crowded dwellings.

Dr Allen said the map highlighted how many Indigenous people in remote areas were living in insecure housing.

“Aboriginal Australians are experiencing very high levels of inadequate, inhospitable and insecure housing and that undoubtedly impacts on health, social and community engagement,” she said.

TRIGUBOFF REMAINS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT SYDNEY APARTMENTS

OF COURSE HARRY REMAINS OPTIMISTIC … HE IS NO 1

IF you ever wondered who is in charge of Australia …

TRIGUBOFF REMAINS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT SYDNEY APARTMENTS

Despite blaming government taxes and credit restrictions for weakening foreign buyer demand in Sydney, Harry Triguboff remains positive about Sydney’s apartment market — buying a Zetland site for $80 million.

Triguboff acquired the 1.06-hectare Council Depot site at 94-104 Epsom Road, Zetland. The site offers potential to construct a 12-storey building with around 300 apartments in an area reportedly popular with foreign buyers.

The adjacent $13 billion Green Square renewal project has created an epicentre for potentially thousands of new apartments. Regulations on investor loans have limited buyers, but the hotel magnate said that his current towers hold little to no vacancies, and he has confidence in inner-city Zetland.

“Following on from the huge success of our Symphony development next door, I have every bit of confidence this new site will also be well received by the market,” he said.

Already in construction, the Meriton brand awaits a new 30-storey tower at 230 Sussex Street, designed by Crone Architects.

Towering 115 metres, the 230 Sussex Street hotel will feature 201 hotel suites and 100 residential apartments, with ground floor services amid a sunlit four-storey high lobby and courtyard.

Triguboff purchased the hotel’s site in 2015 for $60 million, acquiring the neighbouring historic Foley Brothers site for $15 million after to consolidate a larger site. The Foley Brothers site was previously owned by pollster and Haoma Mining Chair Gary Morgan.

Crone won a competition in 2016 to create the design for the site, adapting the Foley Brother’s warehouse to accommodate a heritage courtyard and hotel lobby.

“The tower’s strong connection to its heritage context, together with references to the surrounding streetscape were the winning qualities of the design,’ Crone’s lead designer on the project Ariana Rodriguez said.

“Sitting on a sandstone podium, the tower’s proportions are taken from the adjacent heritage building while the tower’s facade continues the theme of old and new with a mix of clear and solid panels positioned so the development can be understood from both a historic and current, urban context.”

Completion of the 230 Sussex Street precinct is expected by May 2019.
