Housing supply is one of Queensland's most pressing challenges, but delivering more homes requires more than planning approvals alone.
Today, SCAQ welcomed the Queensland Government's decision to double the funding available under Round 2 of the Residential Activation Fund from $500 million to $1 billion.
As SCAQ CEO Laura Bos said:
"The conversation cannot simply be about building more homes. It must also be about building the infrastructure, communities and liveability that allow Queenslanders to thrive. Housing without the supporting infrastructure is a promise that cannot be delivered."
This investment recognises an important reality: housing cannot be delivered without the critical infrastructure that supports it.
Water, sewerage, stormwater, transport, power and telecommunications infrastructure are often the missing link between housing being planned and housing actually being built.
As Queensland continues to grow, particularly in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, investment in enabling infrastructure will be critical to unlocking housing opportunities, supporting affordability and creating sustainable communities.
The strata sector has an important role to play in Queensland's housing future. Well-designed apartment and community living developments provide housing choice, support affordability and help create connected, vibrant communities close to jobs, services and transport.
The Residential Activation Fund is an investment not only in housing supply, but in the long-term success of the communities Queenslanders will call home.
