The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 668 - 507: Agricultural Plan_3

Currently, the Dili government’s solution to immigrant housing needs is mostly based on the Australasian native methods.

First, affordable housing is built and rented at a relatively low price to these new immigrants.

No matter what kind of housing, the rent for the first three months will be reduced or exempted to alleviate the burden on new immigrants.

The second type of housing is unique to the Australian region, which is wooden houses.

Australia produces eucalyptus, and eucalyptus timber is also a major export for Australia.

Eucalyptus has a strong adaptability, with advantages such as rapid growth, good shape, and wide usage. Eucalyptus can be used in industries such as pulp and paper, wood-based panels, and construction, with good economic value.

Although it seems a bit cumbersome and suitable for planting, eucalyptus has a significant drawback, which is the excessive consumption of water resources.

This can only be a disadvantage in other regions, and it is entirely acceptable compared to the economic value of eucalyptus.

However, for a country like Australasia that is extremely short of water resources, the shortcomings of eucalyptus will be magnified infinitely, which is fatal.

What’s even more deadly is that Australasia is the place of origin and main production area for eucalyptus. Most of the trees in Australia are eucalyptus, wasting a large amount of Australia’s water resources every year, especially in the Australian region.

To address this situation, under Arthur’s push, a wave of wooden house fever has swept across Australia. Eucalyptus template-made wooden houses have also been well-received by most people.

Arthur’s plan is to replace all eucalyptus trees in Australia with trees that don’t use as much water resources within a certain period.

Although the value of eucalyptus is decent, it is better not to have it for the water-deficient Australian region.

With affordable housing and wooden houses, the immigrant housing needs in Dili have been solved for the most part.

For some immigrants with a small amount of assets, the Dili government will build some villas or real apartment buildings and sell them to those who want to buy.

Due to the current restrictions on housing prices by the Australasian government and the large number of affordable houses, there is no phenomenon of property speculation in Australasia.

After all, the hard-earned house may not appreciate much even after waiting for ten years, and may even be offset by the old house, becoming an uneconomical deal.

"The localization of Dili is the most important step in our colonization and localization strategy and determines whether our designated colonial localization policies can succeed and whether they are suitable for a full-scale rollout.

Every department must cooperate with Dili’s actions and strive to see results within four years, thereby pushing the efforts steadily in the nation." Arthur is satisfied with this tour of Dili.

Therefore, the summary is more of an encouragement to the ministers and the Dili government.

With that, Arthur looked at Frank Wilson, the Governor of Dimwala, and ordered, "Governor Frank, report to me on the situation in Dili every two months. If you have any problems, discuss them with the Cabinet Government."

"Localization of Dili is necessary and will definitely succeed. The Dili colonial government should not be slack. This concerns the development of the entire nation." Arthur required.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Rest assured, I will fulfill my supervisory responsibility and report the situation to you on time." The Governor of Dili, Frank, nodded his head slightly and assured Arthur.

As the governor personally appointed by Arthur, the ability and loyalty of Governor Frank are beyond doubt.

Arthur is quite confident in Dili’s development under Frank’s leadership.

Even when the localization of Dili is completed in the future, Frank and the Dili colonial government will smoothly transition into the central government of the state, with no changes in rank. Their own power and status will still be promoted.

After all, Dili was just a small colony with a population of tens of thousands. However, if the localization is successful, no matter what, Dili will be a direct province of Australasia, and the power and status of the governor in the government will not be small.
