Residential Activation Fund

Before a home can be built, the right foundations need to be laid.

Things like power, telecommunications, water, stormwater, roads and sewerage all need to be in place before homes can be built.

That’s why the Queensland Government is funding these types of critical infrastructure projects that are ready to start immediately - so more homes can be built sooner.

The Residential Activation Fund is part of a range of housing initiatives being delivered, so more Queenslanders can secure a place to call home.

About the fund

The $2 billion fund accelerates the delivery of critical infrastructure that is fundamental to getting homes built without delay.

At least 50% of funding is being invested outside of South East Queensland (SEQ), across regional, rural and remote local government areas.

So far, around $1 billion has been allocated to shovel-ready infrastructure projects, needed for housing developments in both established (consolidation or infill) and new areas (expansion or greenfield).
