$2 billion in transport, water and power infrastructure
The Queensland Government is fast-tracking critical infrastructure to unlock more land to build more homes.
A new $2 billion Residential Activation Fund will accelerate delivery of critical infrastructure for residential housing projects, with at least half of funding invested across regional, rural and remote local government areas.
Eligible local governments, developers and landowners can apply for funding to build infrastructure for infill or greenfield sites, such as water supply, sewerage, stormwater, power and roads.
Projects will be assessed on local need for housing, as well as demand, scale and benefit to the community, and construction must start in the coming year.
