- More than 100 places to call home, including affordable housing, unlocked at Mango Hill under the Crisafulli Government's nation-leading Land Activation Program.
- The developments will be delivered by Azure Development Group and Coast2Bay Housing Group.
- The site was part of the former Labor Government's failed Ground Lease Model, which would have cost taxpayers $1.7 billion for just 715 dwellings.
More than 100 new places to call home, including affordable housing, are on the way at Mango Hill through the Crisafulli Government's nation-leading Land Activation Program, putting an end to a $1.7 billion Labor failure.
The 1.5 hectare site is across the road from Mango Hill Train Station and was left to sit vacant by the former Labor Government since the station opened a decade ago.
The site was one of two sites earmarked by the former Labor Government for its failed Ground Lease Model, which its own KPMG report highlighted would cost approximately $2.4 million per dwelling, and delivered zero homes.
The Crisafulli Government in contrast has now unlocked 117 homes on the site, including affordable housing, in just a few short months.
Two proponents will deliver the diverse mix of homes.
Coast2Bay will deliver 56 homes comprising one, two and three-bedroom apartments eligible for affordable housing.
The development will include a single five-storey complex as well as a communal indoor/outdoor space.
Azure Development Group will deliver 61 three and four-bedroom townhouses.
The Mango Hill site has also been declared a Provisional Priority Development Area (PPDA), which will accelerate the planning, assessment and delivery of homes, so Queenslanders can move in quicker.
The Land Activation Program unlocks underutilised government-owned land by partnering with the private sector to build homes and help address Labor's Housing Crisis.
Since launching the program in February 2026, over 30 hectares of land has been released to market and another 3,000 hectares of potential sites have been identified and are under assessment.
That's a stark contrast to Labor's Housing Crisis which saw housing lot approvals slump by 29 per cent, leading to record-low rental vacancy rates, a skyrocketing social housing waitlist and the lowest home ownership rate in the country.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jarrod Bleijie said the Land Activation Program was part of the Crisafulli Government's fresh state for housing.
"This Mango Hill site is the perfect place to call home. After being left vacant for more than a decade under Labor, it'll soon become a thriving place to live, close to public transport, shops, restaurants, schools and childcare," Deputy Premier Bleijie said.
"While Steven Miles couldn't even deliver homes in his own electorate, the Crisafulli Government is getting it done, unlocking real homes and not costing taxpayers.
"By releasing unused state land like this to the market and partnering with the industry that builds new homes, we are unlocking opportunities for more Queenslanders to have a place to call home.
"Unlike Labor, we're delivering more housing, including affordable homes, quickly – without spending billions of taxpayer dollars or using failed restrictive mandates that stalled developments.
"Availability equals affordability and by ensuring supply is unlocked, while also delivering a record number of social and affordable homes and support for first homebuyers, we're delivering a place to call home for more Queenslanders."
Azure Founder Chris Schroor said he was pleased to be partnering with EDQ again.
"This Mango Hill site carries all of the attributes that we look for in developing our communities. It is close to public transport with the rail station across the road, is surrounded by retail amenity and job creation, and a multitude of education options," Mr Schroor said.
The project will add 60 residences to our northern corridor pipeline of over 600 dwellings and we are excited to move forward."
Coast2Bay CEO Andrew Elvin said it planned to design a high-quality residential complex that reflects the character of the local community.
"This development is not only about delivering more homes, but also helping people build brighter futures. Every home represents an opportunity for greater security and wellbeing, reflecting Coast2Bay's purpose of Housing People, Changing Lives," Mr Elvin said
"These homes will provide affordable rental options for essential workers and local residents, enabling them to live closer to employment, schools, services and everyday amenities."
