Re:CAP - Pricing Land Development Rights
Did you know that land increases in value when it's zoned use changes? "Zoning" is permission from the government that controls how property is used and developed. Granting permission to develop land in new ways adds value to the land, even before any development has actually taken place.
This value is created by and belongs to the public, but it's the private landowners who profit. This unseen giveaway hands vast sums to some of Australia’s wealthiest landowners. Instead, these development rights should be returned to the public by putting a fair price on these development rights.
In this episode of Re:CAP, Per Capita's Research Associate Lucas Lewit-Mendes chats with Rayna Fahey, Executive Director of Prosper Australia, unpacking the links between taxing land, housing affordability and inequality.

Homes Not Houses: Women’s Homelessness and Family Violence
As Australia’s housing crisis deepens, one alarming outcome from the lack of accessible rentals or supportive housing is the rise of Australian’s facing homelessness. Women and girls are at the centre of this.
One this week’s episode of Homes Not Houses, Dr Kate Raynor is joined by Allison Heller, director of Urbis, to dissect this troubling story within the housing crisis.
This season is proudly sponsored by the YWCA and Australians Investing in Women, whose support helped produce the show and our research.
View the season credits and references here: https://percapita.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Homes-Not-Houses-Season-2-Credits-References.pdf
Homes Not Houses was produced on the lands of the Wurundjeri-Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, and we pay our respects to their elders past and present.
