The Albanese Government is boosting South Australia's housing supply by investing in critical infrastructure that will unlock almost 4000 more homes across the state.
Thanks to the Government's Housing Support Program, South Australia is receiving $70 million to fast-track 3,641 dwellings in key growth areas.
The projects are delivering social housing as well as enabling infrastructure - such as power, water and sewerage works - which is essential for increasing housing supply.
We're delivering 1000 new homes in Thebarton - at least 200 of which will be affordable - with almost $35 million invested to establish sewerage and water connections at the Former West End Brewery Site.
We're unlocking 700 affordable homes in the City of Playford, jointly contributing $30 million with the South Australian Government to Curtis Road / Heaslip Roundabout - a vital access point for the residents.
And we're delivering critical infrastructure for social and affordable housing across South Australia, including in Seaton, Noarlunga Downs and Port Noarlunga.
We're working closely with the South Australian Government to identify opportunities to fast-track housing development across the state.
This is part of the Albanese Labor Government's $32 billion Homes for Australia plan - with the ambitious target of building 1.2 million homes by 2030.
