According to new Oxford Economics Australia forecasts, Australia is likely to fall short of its 2030 target of over 200,000 homes despite an increase in construction activity.

The economic forecasting agency has predicted that home-building across the country would pick up in the coming period as inflation subsides and government housing policies take effect.
