Increasing social housing supply

The Queensland Government has committed to deliver 53,500 social and community homes by 2044 through the ‘Securing our Housing Foundations’ plan. This includes unlocking 10,000 community homes on church and charity-owned land in partnership with the community housing sector, with 500 homes delivered in two years.

We're delivering a range of initiatives to support social and affordable housing, including through the $2 billion Housing Investment Fund and QuickStarts Qld.

We will work in partnership with community housing providers and the Australian Government to deliver on this ambitious target, including through the Australian Government’s Social Housing Accelerator and the Housing Australia Future Fund.

Residential Activation Fund

The Queensland Government is kickstarting new housing developments through the new $2 billion Residential Activation Fund.

Modern Methods of Construction

Through partnership with industry, the Queensland Government is delivering modern homes that are energy efficient, accessible and adaptive to Queensland’s housing needs. The Modern Methods of Construction program increases production speed and supports delivery certainty.

This QBuild program implements innovative construction techniques developed in partnership with the Office of the Queensland Government Architect and industry suppliers.

On 31 May 2024, we announced a program of 600 new modular dwellings to support the faster roll out of social and essential worker homes in key priority regions across Queensland. We will deliver these dwellings by the end of 2025.
