“This $26 million investment is for enabling civil works including roads, sewerage, water and power that will support the delivery of 65 new social homes and 210 private residential lots as part of the Bonnyrigg Renewal Project in South West Sydney.
“This investment is critical to make these projects shovel ready and build ready 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, with examples such as the Bonnyrigg Renewal Project, as important steps forward in boosting housing supply across the country,” concluded Ms Martin.

Australia’s residential building industry has entered the new year with confidence still on shaky ground for small businesses as rising costs and policy uncertainty continue to cloud the outlook.
Tasmania’s housing market slowed in November, with building approvals falling sharply compared to October. Approvals for new homes dropped almost 20 per cent, and even after seasonal adjustment, the decline was 5.8 per cent.
Australia’s home building industry is expected to strengthen through 2026, supported by gradually improving building approvals and a recovery in demand, but the pace of growth will ultimately depend on how quickly interest rates can fall further, according to the Housing Industry Association.
