Build to Rent group MODEL has released a commentary regarding the Treasury Laws Amendment – Build to Rent Bill 2024.
On global leadership and foreign investment
“The Build to Rent Bill signals to foreign investors they can have confidence in both workable policy settings and firm federal backing of the format as a critical part of the housing solution.”
Rory Hunter, Founder and CEO, MODEL
On pioneering sustainability
“MODEL’s sustainable Build to Rent projects are all committed to decarbonise at scale.
“The Bill will support our efforts in scaling these capital-intensive innovations, enabling us to deliver sustainable homes that are better for people, communities, the planet and also deliver for investors.”
Rory Hunter, Founder and CEO, MODEL
On economic and environmental impact
“This Bill is a win for both housing and the environment.
“Through initiatives such as MODEL’s Regenerative Decarbonisation Fund, Build to Rent can not only address the housing crisis but also reduce emissions, create resilient communities, and providing strong returns for investors.
“This Bill supports a future where economic and environmental priorities can work hand in hand.”
Rory Hunter, Founder and CEO, MODEL
On housing needs and renters
“The Build to Rent Bill is a game-changer for renters in Australia. For too long, they’ve faced insecurity, poor-quality housing, and limited rights.
“The Bill, including a mandated minimum of 10% affordable housing in developments, has the potential to help deliver sustainable, comfortable, and tenant-focused communities.”
Rory Hunter, Founder and CEO, MODEL
On collaboration and opportunity
“This legislation isn’t just a policy change – it’s a turning point.
“It creates the opportunity for developers, investors, and communities to work together to reshape Australia’s housing market.”
