“This investment is for enabling civil works including roads, sewerage, water and power that will support the delivery of 3,781 dwellings which will be a mix of new social homes and private residential lots.
“Part of the total spend includes, $4.5 million being provided to deliver infrastructure upgrades from the Burwood Highway, Knoxfield. This will pave the way for around 400 new dwellings and increase access to the area.
“Also, more than $88 million is being made available for to boost housing supply and bring forward housing projects in regional Victoria.
“This investment is critical to build both social and private homes faster, as builders often tell us that getting this key ‘last mile’ infrastructure is what holds many projects back from being delivered in a more-timely fashion.
"HIA strongly advocated for a boost in enabling infrastructure funding as part of this year’s Federal Budget and were pleased to see $1.5 billion being committed by the Federal Government to support states, territories and local governments to unlock new homes.
“It is therefore encouraging to see this funding now being rolled out to support key housing projects, in order to boost housing supply across the country,” concluded Ms Martin.

Housing target shortfall an $11 billion black hole for states and territories
New data from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) has shone a light on the consequences of Australia falling behind on progress against the National Housing Accord, following the release of today’s ABS building activity data for the first two full years of the 1.2 million homes target.
Could data centres be builders next inflationary hit
Australia’s growing data centre sector is creating a significant new source of construction activity and opportunities for the industry.
Coalition migration measures recognise housing supply depends on workforce capacity
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has welcomed the Coalition's commitment to a skills-first migration approach and the establishment of a dedicated construction visa strike team, saying the measures recognise the critical role workforce capacity plays in addressing Australia's housing shortage.
