Housing and Infrastructure Growth Program
We're supporting the Federal and State Governments to accelerate housing supply in Western Australia by delivering essential power infrastructure to enable the connection of new homes.
Powering growing communities
Our Housing and Infrastructure Growth Program (HIGP) supports Federal and State Government programs to expand water and power infrastructure and fast-track new housing development.
Based on the priority areas chosen by the Government, we expect to enable the development of more than 5,100 additional lots across 8 key growth areas over the next four years.
These areas include the suburbs of Byford, Mundijong, Malaga, Yanchep, Bullsbrook, Mandogalup, Hammond Park and South Yunderup.
Timeline
We expect to deliver critical power infrastructure across 8 suburbs:
| Suburb | Project details | Estimated delivery date |
|---|---|---|
| Malaga | Underground power line extension - approximately 0.5km | Late 2025 |
| Yanchep | Three new underground power lines - approximately 13km | Late 2026 |
| Byford | New underground power line - approximately 6km | Late 2026 |
| Mundijong | New underground power line - approximately 12km | Mid-2027 |
| South Yunderup | New underground power line - approximately 7km | Mid-2028 |
| Mandogalup and Hammond Park | Two new underground power lines - approximately 9km | Mid-2028 |
| Bullsbrook | New underground power line - approximately 16km | Mid-2028 |
