WEBINAR | HAFF Round 3 | 13 March 2026

Housing Australia and Polis Partners joined ALGA for a practical briefing on the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) round 3 and how councils can engage with it effectively. Local governments are being asked to do more to support the delivery of affordable and social housing, often without clear guidance on pathways, partners, or funding levers. This webinar examined that gap directly. Housing Australia discussed how the HAFF works in practice, what makes a strong local government proposition, and where councils can add value through land, partnerships, planning, and enabling infrastructure. Polis Partners stepped through the new Guide for Local Councils: The Delivery of Affordable Housing, a council-focused resource grounded in real-world case studies from across Australia. They discussed proven delivery models, governance approaches, and lessons learned from councils that are already active in affordable and social housing.
