Episode 15: Productivity in the Construction Industry

In this episode, we dive into the Productivity Commission’s recent report, Housing Construction Productivity: Can We Fix It?, with Danielle Wood. We explore the key challenges facing Australia’s construction industry, from inefficiencies to regulatory hurdles, and discuss practical solutions to improve productivity and boost housing supply.

Danielle brings a wealth of expertise to the conversation. As Chair of the Productivity Commission since November 2023, she has held leadership roles across government and economic research, including as former CEO of the Grattan Institute. With a background spanning the ACCC, NERA Economic Consulting, and the Productivity Commission itself, Danielle has deep insights into policy, competition, and economic reform. She is also an Honorary Fellow and former President of the Economic Society of Australia, co-founder of the Women in Economics Network, and a member of the Competition Review Expert Advisory Panel.

Tune in for an expert analysis on the future of housing construction and what needs to change to deliver more homes, faster.
