“This investment includes concessional loans and grant funding to support more homes for first home buyers delivered faster, which is timely given home ownership rates for those under 40 at decade lows.
“The funding is primarily focussed on key last mile enabling infrastructure including roads, sewerage, water and power to fast track new dwellings delivery and boost housing supply.
“This investment is critical to build more 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.
“The $801 million funding includes:
- $300 million in concessional loan to support water infrastructure in the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide aiming to deliver 4,000 homes.
- A $50 million 3-year concessional loan for civil works to deliver 400 new first homebuyer homes within the Playford Alive urban renewal development area.
- A $184 million concessional loan to deliver over 1,700 homes at multiple urban renewal projects across metropolitan Adelaide.
- $133.6 million in grant funding, which South Australia will match, to deliver 750 dwellings for first home buyers through other programs.
“HIA has been advocating extensively for a boost in enabling infrastructure funding as part of this year’s Federal Budget and ahead of the upcoming South Australian state election to support state and local governments to unlock more new homes faster.
“It is therefore encouraging to see this funding being rolled out to support key housing projects, that will enable more projects to be shovel ready faster and in turn boost housing supply across the country,” concluded Ms Martin.

Legislation passed to overhaul Victorian planning
The Victorian Parliament has passed the Planning Amendment (Better Decisions Made Faster) Bill, which makes some of the most substantial changes to planning and environment legislation since the Planning and Environment Act introduced in 1987.
Proposed Minimum Financial Requirements for home builders
The Victorian government has released, for public comment, details of the proposed Minimum Financial Requirements (MFR) for home builders to maintain registration. They will be enforced by the Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC).
Planning reforms won't see more homes till 2028
“HIA welcomes the passing of planning reform legislation yesterday but claims by the Victorian government these reforms ‘back builders’ and will deliver more homes are premature,” stated HIA Victorian Executive Director, Keith Ryan.
