The SCSI report tells us that without the Government interventions of waiving the development levies and water charges, the help to buy scheme that helps people to get their deposits together and the first home buyers scheme, no one would be buying a home because they would not be able to afford it. That is putting even more pressure and expectation on delivery from the LDA, especially in the city. We need to see the LDA in the core city centre. I am returning to the issue of getting agreement on State-owned lands as that is a real cost that could help to reduce the end price. Does the LDA need compellability?
