Unlocking New Opportunities with the National Housing Accord
National Housing Accord, which seeks to improve housing availability by encouraging institutional investment and innovation in construction and planning systems.
The National Housing Accord is reshaping the future of property development in Australia by incentivizing the creation of over 1.2 million new homes over the next five years. Property developers and investors have a unique opportunity to tap into federal and state funding aimed at boosting affordable and social housing supply.
Maximizing Returns Through Strategic Housing Development
For developers and investors, the Accord presents an unparalleled opportunity to meet housing demand while capitalizing on government support. The $1.5 billion Housing Support Program, designed to improve infrastructure and streamline planning, creates fertile ground for profitable developments in areas well-connected to transport and employment hubs. Additionally, the Social Housing Accelerator Payment ensures that social housing remains a priority, injecting $2 billion into the sector. For those looking to enter the market or expand their portfolios, this framework offers the potential for both high returns and long-term stability
State Allocations, Incentives and Implementation Schedules
These incentives are part of a broader effort to boost housing supply, improve affordability, and ensure energy-efficient, well-located homes. The implementation schedules for each state are reviewed annually, allowing flexibility and adaptation to new housing initiatives.

The federal government has committed $350 million towards building 10,000 affordable homes, with states matching this for a total of 20,000 homes across key urban areas.
This initiative is backed by a $3 billion New Home Bonus, which rewards states and territories that exceed their housing supply targets, providing a competitive edge for developers working in well-located, high-demand regions
Additionally, the NHSAC has identified 10 key focus areas to improve housing outcomes, including investing in social housing, reducing homelessness, boosting construction sector capacity, and enhancing planning efficiency.
The council also emphasizes the need for data-driven decisions and better alignment between regional needs and national policies. This comprehensive approach aims to tackle Australia’s housing challenges holistically, ensuring that policies not only address immediate supply concerns but also provide long-term solutions for affordability and sustainability
Building the Future: Affordable and Energy-Efficient Housing
As the demand for affordable housing continues to grow, the National Housing Accord is setting high standards by requiring all new affordable homes to meet an energy efficiency rating of 7 stars or greater. This not only addresses Australia’s housing shortage but also appeals to environmentally conscious developers and investors. The government is actively working with community housing providers and private investors to ensure that these homes are delivered on schedule, making it an opportune time for developers to partner with the public sector and take advantage of concessional loans and grants
