Should We Introduce A Building And Construction National Service Program? In response to my recent articles about solving the Australian Housing Crisis such as “Building 1.2 Million Identical Homes In 5 Years” and “Funding The Great Australian Housing Scheme”, I’ve realised that the single biggest problem with all of this is going to be “Fully Trained Tradies”. We are going to need an absolute huge amount of building tradespeople, so in response to that I’ve come up with “The Building And Construction National Service Program”. This proposal is the only way I can think of successfully addressing Australia’s housing crisis and the shortage of skilled construction workers. This initiative is just one part of “The Great Australian Housing Scheme,” which is the overarching plan to build 1.2 million identical homes over five years (although I now realise it is impossible). My National Service program variant combines national service with comprehensive trade training to create a skilled workforce while providing participants with valuable career opportunities. What’s It All About? Below Is The Program Overview. The program targets Australian citizens aged 18-38, with mandatory service for those aged 18-28 and voluntary service for those aged 28-38. Participants commit to a 9-year service period, which includes initial military-style training, trade-specific training, and on-the-job experience. The training would be conducted at a state-of-the-art facility that would be built in Muswellbrook, NSW and each participant would be able to get fully accredited with 3 building and construction trades over their 9 years of service. As you can imagine, this would very much set them up for life once they finish. Participant Benefits. Participants would receive competitive compensation, starting at $50,000 in the first year and increasing annually to $106,000 in the final year but what would make this money more appealing is that income tax on National Service salaries would be capped at 10%. Additional benefits include a $10,000 tax-free bonus upon completion of service, minimal living expenses, and career progression opportunities. On completion of their 9 years service Graduates can enter the private sector, continue national service on much higher pay, or join the Department of Defence as Building And Construction Specialists. Training Structure. My proposed training program includes a 3-month military-style recruit training course, followed by three blocks of 120 days of trade-specific training at the proposed Muswellbrook campus. Participants would gain practical experience through hands-on projects across Australia. The curriculum would integrate occupational health, safety, environmental practices, project management fundamentals and sustainable building techniques.

I recently wrote an article "How to Build 1.2 Million Homes in 5 Years," which discussed my idea of building all of these homes identically and why it might work. I tagged this idea "The Great Australian Housing Scheme," and shortly after publishing that article, I realised I needed to raise a few more dollars for the scheme. With that in mind, I've written a new article titled "Funding The Great Australian Housing Scheme," of which I would like to talk about today. I’m the first to admit this article is a little "out there," but perhaps this is exactly what's needed; after all, we're not doing a great job of building people the homes they so desperately need. I devised some novel funding strategies, such as selling and restructuring government-owned media assets and optimising public service salaries, in order to generate significant funding. I suppose the purpose of my new article is to emphasise that unless we are willing to take some "Tough Measures" to ensure success, neither my plan nor any other plan is worth considering. For my mind: • 1 homeless person in Australia is one too many & • 1 family living in a tent due to no affordable housing available is too many. As a result, I believe that challenging measures such as streamlined land acquisition, zoning reform, and regulatory changes should be implemented as soon as possible. Significant tax breaks would also be required, as would relaxed guidelines for international investment and the implementation of strict cost monitoring and control systems. I also emphasise the importance of community consultation, displacement mitigation, local business integration, and adequate provision of social infrastructure such as schools and hospitals. There is also the issue of "Urgency vs. Democracy," where we must strike a balance between the need for immediate action and the preservation of democratic values and open debate. If only those in charge cared about: 1. Preventing homelessness, 2. Ensuring everyone gets an affordable home & 3. Preventing any further building and construction companies from going bankrupt. as much as they seem to care about: 1. Constantly increasing the overhead costs of government by creating and growing departments that nobody wants or needs, 2. Constantly increasing their own pays as well as the hundreds of bureaucrats pays & 3. Immigration policies that seem to have caused us substantial financial harm. I might have digressed a little bit there, but this is kind of the reason for the article I'm referring to; if you'd like to read it, here's the link.: https://www.glzwoodw.biz/funding-the-great-australian-housing-scheme]]>

0 My Bold Housing Solution 1200000 Identical Homes over 5 years.pdf /slideshow/my-bold-housing-solution-1200000-identical-homes-over-5-years-pdf/272923167 myboldhousingsolution1200000identicalhomesover5years-241031221241-d6ef3909
As we are all well aware, Australia is grappling with a deepening housing crisis, exemplified by Sydney's average house price hitting $1.15 million. My very ambitious proposal suggests a radical solution: building 1.2 million identical homes between 2025 and 2030 (these days will naturally have to be pushed out). This mass-production approach aims to leverage economies of scale to address housing affordability while promoting regional development. My proposal outlines a standardized 150m² home design featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living area, all built on generous 500m² blocks. Each energy-efficient dwelling would achieve a 7-star NatHERS rating and include solar panels and smart home technology. At $450,000 per house, the total project cost, including land acquisition and infrastructure, would reach $729 billion. The implementation strategy I came up with centres on establishing centralized manufacturing facilities for off-site production, securing bulk material supplies, and developing a specialized workforce. My plan would require 60,000 hectares of land and deliver 240,000 homes annually through streamlined construction processes. Although not in my article but rather comments that I’ve added to it recently, my proposal extends beyond mere housing construction. I advocate for capping major city populations and redirecting development to regional centres, citing 24 distinct advantages. These benefits include reduced congestion, lower living costs, stronger regional economies, and improved disaster resilience. The strategy emphasizes the advantages of developing greenfield sites over retrofitting existing infrastructure in crowded cities. The timing of my proposal is I guess particularly relevant as Sydney faces infrastructure challenges, with planned water rate increases of 18% next year and 6.8% annually thereafter to fund system upgrades. This situation highlights the strain on existing urban infrastructure and the potential benefits of planned regional development. The 1.2 million standardized homes that would result from my proposal would provide ample space for future modifications, including the addition of granny flats or sheds, addressing multi-generational living needs and storage requirements. Sure, my proposal sacrifices architectural diversity for efficiency but I just think we need to prioritise fundamental shelter needs and long-term sustainability over being picky (1st world problems eh’). Critics will surely question my proposal's ambitious scope, but with housing affordability reaching crisis levels and interest rate changes potentially driving even more Australians into substantial long-term debt, innovative solutions are desperately needed.

The 1.2 million standardized homes that would result from my proposal would provide ample space for future modifications, including the addition of granny flats or sheds, addressing multi-generational living needs and storage requirements. Sure, my proposal sacrifices architectural diversity for efficiency but I just think we need to prioritise fundamental shelter needs and long-term sustainability over being picky (1st world problems eh’). Critics will surely question my proposal's ambitious scope, but with housing affordability reaching crisis levels and interest rate changes potentially driving even more Australians into substantial long-term debt, innovative solutions are desperately needed.
