Coronation Property’s Head of Urban Transformation, Aras Labutis, has been featured in The Australian Financial Review, contributing to Michael Bleby’s coverage of the policy, cost and feasibility settings influencing Australia’s housing pipeline.
The article examines the impact of proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, alongside broader market factors including construction costs, interest rates, inflation and state planning policy. It also highlights the importance of measures that support approved housing projects moving into delivery.
Aras’ commentary reflects Coronation’s view that solving Australia’s housing challenge requires a sharper focus on feasibility, particularly for mid-market and more attainable housing. As he notes in the article, this part of the market is where much of the country’s housing need sits, yet it remains one of the hardest segments to deliver at scale.
For Coronation, the priority is clear: creating the conditions that allow well-located, high-quality housing to move from approval to construction with greater certainty.
