新南威尔士州将支付区域基础设施贷款的一半利息,以促进住房发展。 NSW to cover half interest on regional infrastructure loans, boosting housing development.

悉尼以外的新南威尔士地区理事会现在可以申请基础设施贷款的利息减免,国家支付一半的利息,为道路、排水管、公园以及住房发展所需的其他基本服务提供资金。 Regional councils in NSW outside Sydney can now apply for interest relief on infrastructure loans, with the state covering half the interest to fund roads, drains, parks, and other essential services needed for housing development. 高达2 090万美元的资金支持开放未开发土地的项目,解决阻碍住房增长的基础设施差距。 Up to $20.9 million in funding supports projects that unlock undeveloped land, addressing infrastructure gaps that hinder housing growth. 该倡议还包括多达300万美元的用于地方规划的赠款,帮助较小的理事会克服妨碍联邦筹资的障碍。 The initiative also includes up to $3 million in grants for local planning, helping smaller councils overcome barriers to federal funding. 尽管澳大利亚地区的住房价格可以承受,而且人口不断增加,但由于基础设施成本高以及劳动力和材料短缺,住房供应已经下降。 Despite regional Australia’s affordability and rising population, housing supply has declined due to high infrastructure costs and shortages in labor and materials. 官员说,这些措施将有助于为家庭、工人和年轻人提供更快、更经济的家。 Officials say the measures will help deliver homes faster and more affordably for families, workers, and young people.
