Infrastructure Development Fund - Stream 1: Targeted Apartment Rebate (2026)

The Infrastructure Development Fund's Stream 1: Targeted Apartment Rebate provides funding assistance to developers/landowners for infrastructure charges and/or connection costs from the Water Corporation or Western Power.

Developers/landowners can also apply for the reimbursement of development application fees, where the development approval for the apartment development was granted through the Development Assessment Panel or the Significant Development Pathway.  

A maximum rebate of $10,000 per apartment dwelling is available for projects that have an existing development approval, but where development has not yet substantially commenced. 

Developers/landowners will be able to apply for the rebate and the reimbursement of development application fees by demonstrating that their development meets the eligibility criteria within the Infrastructure Development Fund - Stream 1: Targeted Apartment Rebate - Guidelines for Applicants. A pre-approval letter and funding agreement will be issued once a development has been determined to be eligible for the rebate. 

Successful applicants can claim the rebate by providing relevant invoices for the infrastructure charges and/or connection costs from Water Corporation or Western Power to the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (the Department). The Department will then ensure that these costs are consistent with the terms and conditions within the pre-approval letter and funding agreement. The rebate will be paid directly by the Department to the Water Corporation or Western Power, with evidence of this payment to be provided to successful applicants for their records. 

Where relevant, the reimbursement of development application fees will occur once it is demonstrated that practical completion and/or a certificate of occupancy for the development has been achieved and a valid receipt for the development application fees has been provided.
