A growing Queensland needs more housing
That’s why the new Queensland Government’s $2 billion Residential Activation Fund is delivering the essential infrastructure needed to build more homes sooner, like:
- new water and drainage pipes
- road and transport links
- and connecting everyone to power and telecommunications.
Because before a house can go up, the groundwork has to happen first.
Alongside the new Residential Activation Fund, we’re also:
- supporting first home buyers by removing stamp duty on new builds
- extending the $30,000 first home owner grant to 30 June 2026
- introducing a nation-leading Boost to Buy shared equity scheme to help reduce the deposit gap
- increasing rental availability by lifting subletting restrictions
- delivering 1 million homes, including 53,500 social and community homes by 2044.
It’s all part of helping more Queenslanders find a place to call home.
