The 91-year-old Meriton boss said council staff should be given bonuses if they approved more development applications before making incendiary remarks about Chinese migrants.
Billionaire apartment builder Harry Triguboff says the slow approval of new developments from local councils is partly responsible for Sydney’s housing crisis and has called for council staff to receive bonuses if they approve more development applications.podcast, the prolific Meriton developer, 91, also said Australia should significantly increase its immigration rate before saying Chinese migrants may “take over” the country.
“I always watched which council has good bureaucrats because if you have the wrong bureaucrats, they’ll sink you,” he said, singling out Ryde Council for previously being a “good council” that allowed him to develop the area for 35 years. Triguboff, born in China to Russian Jewish parents, also said that while he strongly supported a high immigration rate, he believed Australia needed “various types” of migrants from different countries.
