We’ll be delivering 490 new homes for seniors and people with disabilities. The development will include 245 social, 223 affordable and 22 specialist disability apartments, providing a well-connected, accessible environment for older Queenslanders while also freeing up under-utilised social housing for families in need.
As the biggest social and affordable housing project to be built in Queensland, the development will utilise the power of modern methods of construction to deliver 1,008 volumetric timber modules, making it the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
“This project will deliver hundreds of homes in regional Queensland, while complementing our plan to deliver thousands of homes through our Housing Australia Future Fund all around Australia.”
– Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
