NEARLY 5,000 social and affordable homes are under construction or contracted to be delivered across Queensland under the new Crisafulli Government, marking a key milestone in efforts to ease the Housing Crisis.
The acceleration in delivery was announced last Monday April 7 by the Minister for Housing and Public Works, Sam O’Connor. The boost is expected to lift the state’s total social and affordable housing stock by over 6 per cent.
Since November, more than 3,100 homes have commenced, with another 1,800 contracted—part of the LNP’s Securing Our Housing Foundation Plan.
Minister O’Connor said the Government was “getting on with the job” of delivering on its commitment to unlock more homes for all Queenslanders. “These social and affordable homes are just one part of the Government’s ambitious goal to deliver one million homes by 2044, including 53,500 new social homes,” Minister O’Connor said.
“This is just the start of our housing delivery.
“We’re rebuilding our housing system from the ground up and backing our builders to get more homes for Queenslanders faster.”
