Zali’s Commitment to You

  • Lower Barriers to Entry: Bring down housing costs by removing barriers to low-waste construction with prefab modules.
  • Stronger Rental Protections: Improve the quality of rental housing through swift adoption of tenancy energy ratings and increase tenancy security through longer lease agreements and capping frequency and percentage of rental increases.
  • Resilient, Safe and Environmentally Conscious Housing: Ensure our houses are built safer and cheaper by adopting resilient updates to the National Construction Code, funding the Resilient Building Council’s resilience ratings and driving low-cost, climate-resilient and energy efficient housing.
  • Increase Housing Stock: Improve housing stock by minimising housing as a speculative investment.
  • Affordable Housing for Front Line Workers: Incentivise the inclusion of affordable housing for front-line workers in development assessments.
