To ensure South Australia’s regions thrive, attract and retain a skilled workforce, there is an urgent need for more suitable and affordable housing.
Regional South Australia faces a critical shortage of rental and for-sale housing, creating an unmet demand that developers can tap into. As industries expand and new workers are drawn to regional centres, the need for modern, affordable housing options continues to rise, offering developers a compelling market opportunity.
The Office for Regional Housing plays a pivotal role in addressing the housing challenges of regional communities and contributes to South Australia’s future growth. By partnering with developers, local councils, and key stakeholders, the Office provides guidance, funding support, and strategic assistance tailored to the needs of each region. This collaboration ensures that developers are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of regional housing projects.
Port Pirie Expression of Interest
Renewal SA, in partnership with the Department for Infrastructure and Transport - Government Employee Housing (GEH), is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from developers to build up to 10 dwellings for government workers in Port Pirie. This new housing initiative, backed by a 10-year lease agreement from the South Australian Government, aims to support essential services such as health, education, and law enforcement while also presenting a lucrative long-term investment for developers. To further encourage regional development, Renewal SA is offering up to $1 million in capital contributions for infrastructure works.
