The Honourable Dr Steven Miles
A blueprint for unlocking housing supply in one of the nation’s fastest growing regions, has been released today
Community consultation is open on the updated draft South East Queensland Regional Plan
To help build more of the Queensland we love, visit www.qld.gov.au/shapingseq to have your say by 20 September 2023
The draft South East Queensland Regional Plan, released today, provides a plan for almost 900,000 new homes by 2046 to accommodate 2.2 million new residents.
The plan includes that we will work with councils on new housing diversity targets to offer Queenslanders more choice in how and where they live.
The plan delivers the framework that local councils and developers work in to deliver new homes and protect our great lifestyle.
For the first time, councils in the region’s 12 local government areas will be required to adjust their planning schemes to help deliver a mix of homes to offer more choice to our communities.
The plan also recognises the need for more social and affordable housing to be provided in the future and sets a new target of 20% for the region.
Well-located homes are a big focus, with planning for an extra 100,000 dwellings close to jobs, transport and across well-serviced areas.
To manage growth well, the plan includes the SEQ Infrastructure Supplement to ensure homes are well serviced by transport and key infrastructure like hospitals, university precincts and schools.
Queenslanders are invited to have their say on the draft plan here: www.qld.gov.au/shapingseq. A final plan is due to be released by the end of the year.
Quotes attributable to Deputy Premier Steven Miles:
“South East Queensland is booming, with almost six million people expected to call this region home by 2046,” Mr Miles said.
“More housing is needed than ever before, and we need a plan that ensures homes are delivered when and where they need to be while also protecting Queensland’s great lifestyle.
“We committed to reviewing our plan for South East Queensland as a key outcome from the Housing Summit, and we are delivering on that promise.
“A lot has changed since the last plan was released, including record interstate migration.
“Our population isn’t just getting bigger; it’s changing, with household sizes, demographics and lifestyle trends shifting.
“We cannot only rely on traditional models and new greenfield development as the answer for housing choice and affordability given what we know about people’s preferences.
“This plan helps put in place a framework that councils can use to deliver more homes over the coming decade.
“It means more opportunities for young people and future generations to buy their first home, workers to live closer to their jobs, and older Queenslanders looking to downsize but stay within a connected community.
“This plan doesn’t mean growth everywhere – it plans for growth in the suburbs that can cater for growth.
“Infrastructure is a key piece of the puzzle to support housing growth, so we’ve aligned this plan with an infrastructure supplement to ensure we get it right.
“The Palaszczuk Government is building big to secure the future we need for Queensland.
“Our $89 billion Big Build over the next four years will deliver the infrastructure needed to support our growing state with greater connectivity and better services.”
“This is about taking action now and planning ahead to manage growth well and ensure we build more of the Queensland we love”
Quotes attributable to Minister for Housing Meaghan Scanlon:
“People are flocking to the south-east region because it is one of the best places in the world to live, work, learn, and raise a family.
“We know that residents in Queensland, like elsewhere in the nation, are facing increased housing pressures that are impacting on affordability.
“With these new targets and requirements for social and affordable housing, government and industry will be clear on what is needed to help deliver for our future population.
“It complements our $5 billion for social and affordable housing – the largest investment in Queensland’s history.
“Importantly, this plan isn’t just about housing affordability, it’s about affordable living.
“Making sure the right housing is available, at the right location, to maximise access to local services, transport and jobs is critical.
“But we can’t do this alone – it requires all levels of government, including councils, industry and our communities, to make this a reality.
“Now’s the time to have your say and help shape South East Queensland’s next chapter.”
