The Queensland Government is working at pace to drive opportunities that increase the supply of housing options across the state and kickstart new housing developments. The $2 billion Residential Activation Fund (the fund) aims to accelerate delivery of trunk and essential infrastructure that is fundamental to activating residential housing projects.

Applications for Round 2 of the Residential Activation Fund are now open. Up to $500 million in funding is available under Round 2, distributed through a competitive application and assessment process.

Round 2 continues to support the delivery of trunk and essential infrastructure required to activate both infill and greenfield housing projects.

Round 1 successful non-SEQ Local Government Specific Infrastructure Planning Projects (SIPPs) will be prioritised for construction funding in Round 2. Round 1 SIPPs must be substantially complete and able to commence and complete construction within the required timeframes outlined in the Round 2 Guidelines.
