Our new department commences operations on 1 July 2025.
Commencing 1 July 2025 and led by Director General Leon McIvor, the Department of Housing and Works (DHW) will provide services across Western Australia.
Our new agency brings together staff from the Department of Communities and the former Department of Finance, to oversee the construction, maintenance and refurbishment of public housing - prioritising affordable housing initiatives for the community - and other key government infrastructure projects including public schools and police stations.
We are responsible for social housing works, tenancy management and the provision of housing in remote Aboriginal communities. We also manage properties used by government employees.
To support other government agencies, we manage office accommodation, State Fleet and deliver agency procurement and statutory planning and asset policy services.
We look forward to continuing to deliver vital outcomes for the people of WA.
