About

The Western Australian Government has established a $50 million Housing Innovation Fund (HIF) to support local industry in adopting innovative construction technologies and practices.

The HIF forms part of the broader WA Housing Plan, through which the Government is delivering long-term solutions to increase housing supply, reduce red tape, unlock land, and build workforce capability. Since 2021, more than $4.5 billion has been committed to initiatives aimed at boosting housing availability across the State.

The Housing Innovation Fund will back local businesses seeking to:

  • scale up manufacturing and prefabrication capabilities;
  • automate key elements of the construction process;
  • improve environmental sustainability;
  • reduce build times and reliance on traditional labour; and
  • strengthen WA’s construction and manufacturing resilience.

This initiative is part of the Government’s Made in WA platform and will play a key role in helping the housing sector respond to evolving market and workforce conditions.

Housing Innovation Fund Grant 

The Housing Innovation Fund Grant will provide grants of up to $5 million (with matched contribution required) to support WA businesses in adopting prefabricated, modular and automated building technologies within the residential sector.
