Residential Activation Fund
Applications for the Residential Activation Fund – round 1 closed on 23 May 2025.
The Queensland Government is delivering a place to call home for more Queenslanders.
The new $2 billion Residential Activation Fund (the fund) will accelerate delivery of the critical infrastructure that is fundamental to getting more homes built sooner.
At least 50% of funding will be invested outside of South East Queensland (SEQ), across regional, rural and remote local government areas. Round 1 focuses on projects that are ready to proceed now, with $500 million of the $2 billion fund available.
About the fund
The fund is part of a range of housing initiatives being delivered, so more Queenslanders can secure a place to call home.
It provides funding to get infill and greenfield land ready for new housing developments, through the delivery of trunk and essential infrastructure, including:
- water supply
- sewerage
- stormwater
- power
- transport e.g. roads.
By addressing these infrastructure needs, the fund ensures residential housing developments can proceed without delay.
