The Albanese Government is getting on with the job of building more homes in Werriwa, with more
investments in town planning.
Werriwa will benefit from more than $5.4 million, with 3 successful projects announced today under
Stream 1 of the $1.5 billion Housing Support Program.
These projects include:
• Liverpool City Council – Austral and Leppington North infrastructure needs assessment –
$2,090,000
• Liverpool City Council (Western Sydney Planning Partnership) – Local infrastructure
planning to facilitate infill housing supply in Western Sydney – $750,000
• Campbelltown City Council – Campbelltown City Centre Planning Proposal – $2,628,543
A total of 80 projects across Australia will receive funding, including 73 local government projects
and seven under the states and territories.
This funding will support master planning and development projects to accelerate housing supply
and ensure residential growth in local communities is accessible, affordable and sustainable.
The Housing Support Program is one of a range of measures designed to help achieve the
ambitious national target of building 1.2 million new, well-located homes over the next 5 years.
It also forms part of the $32 billion in new housing initiatives we are delivering through our Homes
for Australia plan.
States, territory and local governments are encouraged to apply for Stream 2 of the Program which
also opens today (9am AEST 5 July 2024).
This stream will provide funding for enabling infrastructure that supports housing growth, such as
roads and utility connections, and community amenities like parks, footpaths and public spaces.
Applications for Stream 2 of the Housing Support Program will be open until 5.00pm AEST 16
August 2024.
