- Up to 1,500 new homes will be developed at Northshore, Hamilton;
- A market housing development is expected to provide approximately 1,300 homes;
- The fist site identified through the Queensland Land Audit will provide up 200 social and affordable homes.
Up to 1,500 new homes will be developed following the release of two significant development opportunities at Northshore.
Already, around 3,000 dwellings have been delivered at Northshore and this land will deliver even more housing.
A site identified through the Queensland Government Land Audit will deliver Social and Affordable housing.
The dedicated Social and Affordable Housing on an 8,000m² site is expected to provide approximately 150 to 200 homes and will be supported by a Community Housing Provider.
The second opportunity is for a residential development, that includes a requirement for five per cent affordable housing, on approximately 4.1ha of land across three superlot development sites that is expected to provide for approximately 1,300 dwellings, to be delivered in phases over the next decade.
Both developments will facilitate over $500 million of private sector investment and create around 1,450 construction jobs.
The housing is expected to consist mainly of apartments with the final makeup to be determined through the development approval.
The Government is also supporting infrastructure in the precinct with a $180 million investment for the design and construction of a major roads project at Northshore.
The land audit was a key commitment from the Queensland Government's Housing Summit. Work is continuing with councils as well as community and faith-based organisations to identify underutilised land that could potentially be used for housing.
Currently, 17 sites are being invested for suitable for delivery of a housing.
