The Great Australian Dream Project
The Great Australian Dream project looks at the impact of regulatory policy on housing affordability, home ownership and housing production. The project aims to promote policies to increase the accessibility and reduce the costs of home ownership for Australians. In particular, the Institute of Public Affairs looks at the relationship between land supply restrictions and how those restrictions artifically inflate the price of house and land. This relationship is examined in the 2006 book The Tragedy of Planning: Losing the Great Australian Dream.
