The Office for Regional Housing, part of the State Government’s “A Better Housing Future” plan, is actively seeking builders to partner with and rapidly roll out much-needed homes.

Their first priority is the Regional Key Worker Housing Scheme, set to provide 30 homes for key workers like teachers, police, and healthcare professionals across the mid-north and Copper Coast among other regions.
