The Crisafulli Government is delivering a place to call home for more Queenslanders on the Sunshine Coast, with 255 social and affordable homes in construction or under contract to be delivered across the region.
It is one of the ways the Crisafulli Government is delivering a fresh start and better lifestyle through a stronger economy for Queensland, with building industry red tape reform and a record $5.6 billion investment over four years to lay the foundations to deliver 53,500 social and community homes by 2044.
The Crisafulli Government's housing help follows a decade of decline and underinvestment, where Labor failed to plan for Queensland's growing population and added just 509 social homes on average per year.
In just one year, Queensland's housing pipeline is ramping up to deliver 2,000 social and community homes on average each year by the end of this term.
There are now more than 5,600 social and affordable homes in construction or under contract to be delivered - almost twice the number Labor had locked in at the time of their last Budget.
This includes 24 social homes in Beerwah, 26 social homes in Sippy Downs, and 63 social homes in Birtinya.
Minister for Housing and Public Works Sam O'Connor said the Crisafulli Government was delivering the fresh start Queenslanders voted for, exactly as promised.
"We are delivering more social and community homes in every corner of Queensland," Minister O'Connor said.
"Under Labor, an average of just 509 social homes were delivered per year - barely a third of the rate Queensland's population grew over the same period.
"We've ramped up construction to deliver 2,000 social and community homes each year on average by the end of this term.
"Projects like this one at Beerwah are vital to meeting the need for social housing for Sunshine Coast locals waiting for a place to call home.
"While we have locked-in a record pipeline for social housing and are delivering more homes sooner with the Residential Activation Fund, there is much more to be done to deliver a place to call home for more Queenslanders, and we remain committed to delivering the fresh start we promised."
Kabi Kabi Aboriginal Corporation's General Manager, Grant Cheatham said the organisation was proud to deliver the Beerwah project in partnership with the Queensland Government and Coast2Bay Housing Group.
"Once completed, these units will provide safe, secure and affordable homes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the Sunshine Coast."
