The Coalition established the Housing Activation Office last year to cut through infrastructural blockages and speed up housing delivery. Garret Doocey, a former senior official at the Department of Transport, was appointed Deputy Secretary General with responsibility for housing activation on Tuesday. The role places Doocey at the centre of efforts to streamline approvals, coordinate infrastructure provision, and remove delays that hinder housing projects. The appointment comes as the Coalition continues to grapple with a housing crisis and after the introduction of a number of measures aimed at reducing delivery lags. The office will focus on coordinating across agencies to accelerate new housing supply.
