Govt annouces plans to relax rules around building products

The cost of building could soon become cheaper. The Government has today announced plans to cut red tape - including relaxing rules around new building products and removing projects under $65,000 from paying a building levy. The cost of building a house has increased 41% since 2019, and its 50% more expensive to build a standalone house here than Australia. David Kelly from Master Builders speaks to Susana Leiataua.
