Social housing boost for Far North
THE Tablelands will benefit from 36 social housing projects, and Mareeba 10, under the government’s Securing Our Housing Foundation Plan underway across the state.
Under the plan, 5000 homes have been contracted, or are under construction across Queensland, which will increase state housing stock by 6%.
Since November, some 3,100 homes were already being built and more than 1,800 were contracted.
Minister for Housing and Public Works Sam O’Connor said the government was 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,”
he said.
Far North Queensland homes slated for construction total 806 ranging in location from the Cassowary Coast through to Torres Strait Island.
