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 9,600 additional lots across 11 key growth areas. 

These areas include the suburbs of Byford, Mundijong, Malaga, Yanchep, Bullsbrook, Mandogalup, Hammond Park, South Yunderup, North Ellenbrook, North East Baldivis and East Wanneroo. 

Work is also underway to support scoping and planning, long lead procurement and land acquisition for two new substations in East Wanneroo and North Ellenbrook to unlock significantly more housing in these priority growth corridors.
