"The Property Council welcomes the announcement made by the Lord Mayor today as well as the acknowledgement that Council and the development sector need to work together to facilitate more housing supply.
"Brisbane's low-to-medium density residential zone covers 14 per cent of Brisbane but in 2023 only 445 new dwellings were delivered in these areas.
"In the midst of a housing supply crisis that is not enough and shows that the LMDR zone simply isn't working.
"It has never been harder to build the homes we need, and we welcome Council's ongoing efforts to partner with industry to address development barriers and deliver more homes.
"As the Lord Mayor reinforced at today's lunch - Brisbane is a city of opportunity, but to fully realise this opportunity we must ensure people have a place to live.
"The Property Council looks forward to providing input to Council as part of their review and continuing to work with them to remedy the barriers stymieing the delivery of new housing," Ms Caire said.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the current low-to-medium density residential zone was underperforming.
"This review is about delivering more homes sooner and where they're needed most.
"We're going to focus on areas with existing infrastructure - close to public transport, shops, schools, and jobs - where modest, well-designed increases in housing density can have the greatest impact.
"We will listen to residents, planners, and builders to ensure this process is balanced, transparent, and tailored to Brisbane's future.
"Brisbane deserves housing solutions that are affordable, sustainable, and well-integrated with our lifestyle.
"This review will help us deliver more homes sooner and ensure our city remains a great place to live, work and relax for people now and into the future."
