If you’re a property developer in Australia, understanding how funding works for land development projects is critical to your success. In the points below, we’ll break down the basics of project funding so you can get started on your next development with confidence.
There are two main sources for funding an Australian land development project: government grants and private investment.
Government Grants
The Australian government offers a number of grant programs to support land development projects that provide public benefits such as increased housing supply, improved infrastructure, or job creation. To be eligible for a grant, your project must meet certain criteria set by the relevant government department or agency. For example, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications offers grants for projects that improve regional connectivity or increase housing supply in areas of high demand.
Private Investment
Private investment can come from a number of sources, including banks, venture capitalists, and private equity firms. To secure private investment, you will need to put together a detailed business case for your project that outlines the expected costs, revenue streams, and risks involved. You’ll also need to provide evidence that you have the necessary financial resources and expertise to successfully deliver the project.
The best way to navigate this process and equip yourself with the best chance of securing funding is to work with a qualified and experienced commercial lending broker who has connections in the industry and can help you find the right investors or lenders for your particular project.

Funding is arguably the most important and often the most difficult aspect of getting your building project off the ground (literally), which is why it’s so important to not just secure adequate funding in advance of the foundations being laid, but also to find the right lender/investor to accommodate the specific needs of your project and all parties involved.
