'AHEAD OF AUSTRALIA'
N.Z. HOUSING PROGRAMME
MELBOURNE, July 821. Absence of organised supplies of material, divided land control, and lack of land subdivided, roaded, and with the necessary facilities would be governing factors in retarding Australia's home-building programme said Mr James Fletcher, chairman ot directors of the Fletcher Construction Company Ltd., who has spent the last month surveying Australian housing SCIIGITIGS, Mr Fletcher said, that unless all Australia's available material resources were-pooled and allotted eqmtably there would be confusion. Before housing on a major scale could be undertaken in Australia the programme would need to be placed under one control. Sites should be purchased complete with all services—roads, drainage, water, power, and light. Mr. Fletcher said New Zealand was two years ahead of Australia in her housing programme because a single authority controlled all State housing.
