- Scenic Rim to benefit from Crisafulli Government's landmark $2 billion Residential Activation Fund.
- Residential Activation Fund to deliver $7.3 million towards a critical infrastructure project.
- At least half of the $2 billion Residential Activation Fund dedicated to fast-tracking regional housing projects.
- Queenslanders have now seen 10 months of delivering under the Crisafulli Government, after 10 years of decline under Labor.
Construction of critical infrastructure to support housing projects in the Scenic Rim is set to be fast-tracked under the Crisafulli Government's landmark $2 billion Residential Activation Fund.
The Crisafulli Government has today announced funding of $7.3 million under the Residential Activation Fund will support the construction of a critical trunk infrastructure project in the region linked to 384 new house lots previously approved by Scenic Rim Regional Council.
This investment will fully-fund the infrastructure required to kickstart the Golf Links Park Estate project including the delivery of water, sewer and roads infrastructure.
The $2 billion Residential Activation Fund has received 178 submissions – 64 from South East Queensland and 114 from regional, rural and remote Queensland.
The Crisafulli Government's 2025-26 Budget is delivering up to $1 billion for round one of the Residential Activation Fund, doubled from the original $500 million, in response to the overwhelming support and availability of shovel-ready projects.
Round one funding focuses on the construction of critical trunk infrastructure needed such as water supply, sewerage, stormwater, and roads needed to unlock new residential developments and ease Labor's Housing Crisis.
The $2 billion Residential Activation Fund is a key pillar of the Crisafulli Government's Securing Our Housing Foundations Plan and is breaking down the barriers for infill and greenfield developments.
The Fund will deliver a place to call home for more Queenslanders and support one million new homes by 2044 with at least 50 per cent of the overall funding to be invested in regional and remote Queensland.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jarrod Bleijie, said the Residential Activation Fund was set to unlock thousands of new homes across Queensland.
"The Crisafulli Government's landmark $2 billion Residential Activation Fund will fast-track the delivery of much-needed housing in Beaudesert and ease Labor's Housing Crisis," Deputy Premier Bleijie said.
"This $7.3 million in the Scenic Rim will give more Queenslanders a place to call home after a decade of decline under the former Labor Government.
"The Residential Activation Fund is just one way the Crisafulli Government is creating jobs, unlocking housing and ensuring that Queensland continues to manage population growth, address housing affordability and protect the lifestyle of local communities."
Member for Scenic Rim Jon Krause acknowledged the support provided would help Scenic Rim Regional Council and all ratepayers in the Scenic Rim.
"These new housing lots were approved by Council several years ago, and the Government's investment will ease the pressure on Council when it comes to building required infrastructure to accompany these housing lots – while also helping locals struggling to find a home."
