The party is running in the upcoming NSW election with its team hoping to gain a Legislative Council seat.

The party web site says it has grown out of discontent from within the building industry and the building design profession, “which has arisen due to governments of all persuasions not adhering to the principles of good business acumen when applying policies in all areas under government control”.

Candidate in the NSW state election, Ray Brown.

According to the Building Australia Party website, it has grown out of the building industry and the building design profession and has a mantra to improve “Housing Affordability, the underlying principles of commonsense, business acumen, reigning in of waste and the reduction of overregulation will be the cornerstone to building a better Future for all Australians.”

Building Australia Party objectives include:

To make housing more affordable.
Reduce unnecessary planning delays which increases building costs.
Council codes to be the rules, if plans comply, then approval to be granted.
To harmonise council planning policies & council submission requirements.
Bring back commonsense into government at all levels, local, state & federal.
Simplify Home Owners Warranty Insurance so it is understood by all parties involved.
Encourage government to establish viable Traineeships & Apprenticeships for our youth.
Licensing & Registration to be a recognition of skills, not just a form of consumer protection.
Reduce needless overregulation through the establishment of an Independent Building Commission.
