Abstract

Current Australian housing targets vary by state/territory, but the total goal approximates to 200,000 housing units annually. The average floor area of a new dwelling is 186m2—though note the most common Australian type, the detached house, averages 232m2, the largest in the world. If we don’t reconcile housing policy with climate policy, we are left with an unachievable target.
