South Australia’s housing, construction and building industry will meet today at a major conference convened by the State Government to strengthen collaboration between government and industry on delivering more homes for South Australians

The SA Housing Trust’s Building South Australian Homes Together briefing - the first of its kind - will bring together builders, developers, manufacturers, suppliers, trades, contractors, training providers, industry associations and delivery partners to focus on housing delivery, jobs, supply chains and investment confidence.

The State Government has set a bold target of seeing 13,500 new homes built in South Australia per year. The latest ABS Building Activity data released last week showed that 14,130 homes were completed in South Australia in the year to March 2026, thanks to policy focus and reforms outlined in the Housing Roadmap.

The SA Housing Trust is progressing an indicative pipeline of almost 4,000 housing outcomes across eight years through a range of programs, including the innovative Rent To Own scheme.

The briefing will outline South Australia’s housing challenge, the role industry can play in responding and the opportunities ahead through the Housing Trust’s forward housing delivery pipeline, including opportunities across new housing construction, renewal, maintenance, regional delivery, modern methods of construction and supporting supply chains.

The event will provide industry with greater visibility of future housing delivery activity and support confidence to invest in people, apprenticeships, supply chains, equipment, innovation and delivery capacity.

The briefing will also provide practical information about how businesses can engage with the Trust, including future housing delivery priorities, procurement pathways, market engagement opportunities and ways for businesses of different sizes and capabilities to participate across the housing delivery ecosystem.

The briefing has sold out, but South Australian builders and construction businesses are encouraged to attend virtually by registering.
