RBA Governor Michele Bullock stated a shift from the 'narrow path' approach to inflation, suggesting a more hawkish policy is needed to bring inflation back to target. This comes amidst global pressures.

This policy direction implies that interest rate decisions are prioritising inflation control over supporting housing prices. Investors in Melbourne's western growth corridor should anticipate continued higher borrowing costs.
