Tighter control of all housing developments towards improved standards of housing coming onto the market. Particular restrictions on overcrowding of houses onto inadequate sized blocks. Oversight of and veto power on all local council planning decisions in consideration of environmental protection, infrastructure provision etc. Government bank to provide basic home mortgage package for first-time borrowers, on commercial terms, integrated into all existing and new first-home-buyer incentive schemes for ease of application and of administration. NOBIS supports the concept of integrated satellite community development - ie, a new suburb to comprise most services within walking distance of all homes in place of giant shopping mall developments. Density intensification through block splitting, granny flat building etc to be discouraged. |
