Opening Doors is a State Government initiative, delivered through the Department of Communities, that aims to make home ownership more affordable for Western Australians.

Communities works in partnership with the WA development industry to build and deliver a wide range of new quality, affordable homes across the state, available for purchase through Opening Doors.

In addition to this, Opening Doors offers a great range of other opportunities to enter into the property market, with a selection of vacant land and pre-owned homes for sale.  

On this website, you will find a variety of well-located homes to suit all kinds of purchasers, from first home buyers to downsizers.

	Shared Home Ownership opportunity Opening Doors’ Shared Home Ownership initiative helps to further reduce the cost of home ownership for Western Australians on low to moderate incomes. Under this unique initiative, Communities acts as a silent partner, funding up to 30% of the property’s value. This means homebuyers only need to make mortgage repayments on the remaining share of the home. This opportunity is exclusive to Opening Doors and only available to homebuyers who qualify for Keystart’s Shared Ownership Home Loan. Visit our Shared Home Ownership page to find out more.
	Train within 1km Some Opening Doors properties are located within 1km of a train station, providing convenient access to key locations across the Perth metropolitan area.
	Accessible features Some Opening Doors properties have been specifically designed to include accessible features, making them easier to enter and navigate, and to be adapted to meet the changing needs of residents over time. Accessible features may include: a flat, level walkway to entrance a wide entrance doorway wide internal doorways and hallways at least one accessible toilet on entry level at least one accessible shower on entry level reinforced walls in the bathroom and toilet to allow for safe installation of grab rails
	Co-ownership opportunity The co-ownership scheme is a shared-equity home ownership opportunity. Under this scheme, Communities acts as a silent partner, funding a portion of the property's value.
