Housing response continues to grow with new Cairns partnership

With 2023 setting a lot of the groundwork for our Society’s 500 Homes in 5 Years project, we are keen to hit the ground running in 2024 to build up our housing response and provide more Queenslanders with a safe, long-term place to call home. 

In the last few weeks, our first major step in this project, building 147 social and affordable homes in Bundaberg (60 units), Gold Coast (60 units) and Toowoomba (27 units) received Member approval at the recent AGM and the Project Managers have also been approved, meaning we are ready to commence the development approval phase with the respective local government Councils.. 

Recently, our homelessness response was bolstered with the announcement of the State Government working with our Society to convert an 18-unit facility in Cairns to crisis accommodation for locals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. 

You can read more about this partnership in the Minister's Media Release. 

We are exploring other options across the state, with a total of more than 450 homes in our development pipeline. 

Building on our housing and homelessness response remains a major part of our Strategic Plan for 2022-2027 and we look forward to sharing more on how we can help Queenslanders find a secure, long-term place to call home.
