The Western Australian Government has invested $5.8 billion in housing and homelessness initiatives, boosting residential land and housing supply and diversifying housing choice across the State, including the delivery of 5,000 new social homes.
The Housing Diversity Pipeline (HDP), led by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage in partnership with other agencies, utilises surplus State-owned land to support the delivery of housing outcomes. The Department is working collaboratively with other government agencies to identify suitable landholdings and leverage the knowledge and capacity of industry to deliver innovative market-based housing outcomes, including social and affordable housing.
The HDP is an opportunity for industry and community housing providers to partner with the State Government to develop innovative and fit-for-purpose solutions that deliver better housing outcomes for all Western Australians.
A number of HDP projects are currently progressing across metropolitan and regional areas, with more to be announced, and a pipeline of new opportunities set for future releases to market.
Current Opportunities
Through the HDP the State Government is building an ongoing pipeline of residential development opportunities aimed at delivering industry led outcomes.
New opportunities including conditional land sales and other structured development briefs will be advertised online through this web portal as they become available. To remain up to date and be notified of new opportunities, please check back regularly or subscribe to the HDP mailing list.
HDP Round One
HDP Round One took several ‘lazy’ government landholdings across metropolitan and regional areas to market and sought to secure a development proponent for each site to deliver new diversified housing supply which incorporated a minimum 20 per cent social housing.
Following a rigorous public tender process, the State Government has selected preferred proponents to develop three separate sites to deliver a mix of social and affordable housing, providing a significant boost to housing stock and diversity within their local areas:
These site developments will deliver a significant boost to the number and diversity of housing within the local areas.
HDP Round Two
HDP Round Two was announced in June 2024 and sought to leverage the knowledge and expertise of the development industry to identify and unlock underutilised government owned land across the State for new residential development to accelerate the supply of housing.
The Round Two Expression of Interest period closed in October 2024. Assessment of all proposals is complete and negotiations with suitable respondents is ongoing.
Successful respondents will be offered the opportunity to purchase the land and then be required to develop it within a specified timeframe and deliver specific development outcomes. Where requirements cannot be met, the State Government reserves the option to resume ownership of the land.
More information about successful projects will be released in due course.
HDP Priority Projects
The Housing Diversity Pipeline is also helping to fund and deliver a number of other key social and affordable housing projects across the Perth metropolitan area including two major build-to-rent projects which are already underway. A summary of these projects and more information can be found below:
