The intelligence infrastructure
Australia's housing sector has been missing.
Housing need, supply pipeline, development viability, funding programs, sustainability risk, and 20 years of evidence — connected in one platform so the organisations solving Australia's housing crisis can move with the urgency the crisis demands.
Eight intelligence modules
Not a dashboard. Not a database.
A connected intelligence layer.
Each module works alone — together they answer questions no single source can, from housing need to compound asset risk.
Development Viability
Per-dwelling funding waterfall — TDC, HAFF grant, Housing Australia debt capacity, and residual gap. Model any state, typology, or HAFF scenario instantly. The same calculation used in real submissions to Housing Australia.
Asset Intelligence
Compound risk score per suburb — combining climate exposure, energy performance gap, and LHD compliance failure into a single score. 13 suburbs at extreme risk nationally. 65 not HAFF Round 4 ready. Portfolio fix calculator included.
Housing Data
Live SHS, ABS building approvals, state waitlist registers. 213,000 on waitlists. 197,971 built/yr — 82% of target.
Housing Need
740,000 have no viable market solution — only 213,000 on formal waitlists. The rest are couch-surfing or gave up.
Supply Pipeline
All 8 states, waitlist trends, delivery gap. 20 years to clear at current rates. State Deep-Dive per jurisdiction.
Funding & Programs
$39.7B across 8 programs. 47% HAFF uncontracted. Every program catalogued with stacking logic.
Sustainability
Climate Risk, Building Energy, Livable Housing, ESG, Asset Intelligence — the triple failure mapped nationally.
Evidence & Policy
681 indexed reports — AHURI, AIHW, ABS, Treasury. Ask any question, get a cited answer in seconds.
HIVE's most distinctive capability
The triple failure —
and where it concentrates.
13 suburbs face extreme compound risk where climate exposure, energy-poor stock, and LHD non-compliance collide simultaneously. This is where Australia's most vulnerable tenants live — paying $2,200+ extra in energy costs annually, in homes reaching 43°C+ on extreme heat days, without the accessibility features to age in place.
HIVE is the only platform that maps this intersection across all 152 profiled suburbs nationally — connecting climate hazard, NatHERS building ratings, and Livable Housing Design compliance into a single compound risk score.

Not HAFF R4 ready
Climate × Energy = Mortality Risk
A Critical heat-risk suburb with 2-star NatHERS stock creates 43°C+ indoor temperatures on extreme heat days. Neither problem alone is fatal — together they are.
Energy × LHD = Tenant Poverty Trap
A 2-star home with non-compliant LHD costs $2,200+ extra per year in energy and offers no pathway to independent living. The same capital investment fixes both.
ESG × Capital = The Funding Unlock
Documenting these risks in a structured ESG report unlocks green bond pricing (10bps cheaper) and NHFIC sustainability-linked loans — funding hundreds more homes at no additional cost.

Impact Investor / Funder
Market sizing, sector capacity, supply gap quantification, viability modelling, ESG benchmarks, and climate risk — all the intelligence an investment decision needs.
From the sector
“The data the housing sector needs has always been publicly available — ABS releases, AIHW reports, budget papers, waitlist registers. What hasn't existed is a single place where it's connected, current, and immediately usable. HIVE is built on the principle that better decisions come from better access to evidence — not from having more time or a larger research team.”
Used by housing professionals across community housing organisations, government housing authorities, and research teams nationally.
