Housing Pressure Relieved Thanks To New Funding

Hinchinbrook Shire Council Acting Mayor
Mary Brown said the Crisafulli Government’s
Residential Activation Fund would
support the delivery of critical trunk infrastructure
across two key growth areas in
Hinchinbrook Shire.
“These projects are a game-changer for
Hinchinbrook, unlocking nearly 200 new
housing lots on flood-resilient land and
setting the stage for sustainable growth,”
Cr Brown said.
“We’re incredibly grateful to the
Queensland Government for backing this
vital infrastructure investment. It’s not just
about pipes in the ground — it’s about creating
a future where our community can
thrive.”
At least half of the total Residential Activation
Fund is earmarked for regional, rural
and remote areas, with Hinchinbrook recognised
as a priority growth location.
