- Applications for the $25 million Regional
Housing Support Fund have been extended until 5pm Friday, 6 February 2026 - Funding is available for housing and land
projects in regional Western Australia - Part of the Cook Government’s commitment to
ensure every Western Australian has a home
The Cook Government has
extended the application deadline for the $25 million Regional Housing Support
Fund, giving regional stakeholders more time to develop their applications for
support to deliver new housing projects.
The fund is part of the
Government’s $5.8 billion investment in housing measures and commitment to
ensuring regional Western Australians have a place to call home.
By removing barriers to
housing, the fund aims to create jobs and drive economic and community growth
throughout the regions.
Local governments,
community housing providers, and developers or landowners can apply for funding
to help address demonstrated and quantified feasibility gaps for a wide range
of project costs, provided the project proposes a minimum of three residential
dwellings or lots.
With strong interest
already received for the fund, applications for the competitive grant will be
extended to 5pm Friday, 6 February 2026. This extension provides applicants
additional time to prepare their submissions, including business cases.
With high demand
expected, applicants are advised to ensure their applications clearly identify
the feasibility gap their project is facing.
Applications close 5pm
Friday, 6 February 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the Regional
Housing Support Fund website.
