Luke is joined by John Brockhoff, the National Policy Director at Planning Institute Australia, who along with the Master Builders & the Insurance Council, are calling on state governments to urgently overhaul their approach to land use planning to ensure no more homes are built without regard to risk on flood plains.

In response to the flood emergency of recent years, the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA), Master Builders Australia (MBA) and the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) today, supported by the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA), convened the inaugural National Industry Roundtable: Land Use Planning and Resilience.
