These roles will collectively support the design, delivery and monitoring of key strategic projects that tackle new housing delivery at the site-level. Just as importantly, the New Homes Accelerator strives to deliver system-wide reforms, including working with other government departments and arms-length bodies on challenges include statutory consultee processes, key infrastructure delivery, and energy solutions.
