those constructions were state govt and council approvals. the de-regulation of construction in NSW allowed increasing sloppy construction with no inspections from govt building inspectors, privatised and non-functional inspector5s were open to suspicious connections.

the most important construction is social and public housing.

The government says public housing completion and the share of social housing stock as a proportion of the total stock has declined for the past three decades.
Since 1996, the level of social housing construction has not been enough to keep pace with sales and demolitions of existing social housing stock.
So what’s the government doing about it?
Since winning the 2022 election, the government has made nearly $26 billion in commitments to the housing problem.
In last night's budget, it added another $6.2 billion in new commitments to the cause.
However, since the vast bulk of initiatives have previously been announced and set-in-motion, a number of last night's announcements referred to additional funding to pre-existing initiatives.

Interesting but none of that changes the fact that the population growth & housing supply have been completely mismanaged for the last 30 years.
