- 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.
As stated by Planning and Lands and Housing and Works Minister John Carey:
"We're listening to feedback from regional stakeholders and making sure that they have time to access support for vital housing projects.
"The Cook Government is committed to breaking down barriers to housing supply and supporting growth in our regional communities.
"This fund is about unlocking new housing opportunities, creating jobs, and strengthening the regions.
"We want to see strong, well-prepared applications that will deliver real benefits for local communities."
