ocial housing tenants makeBiggera Waters a place to call home
- Crisafulli Government ramping up social and affordable housing construction for the fast-growing Gold Coast region.
- 24 new social homes completed ahead of schedule for vulnerable Queenslanders on the Gold Coast.
- Part of the Crisafulli Government's target to deliver 53,500 social and affordable homes.
The Crisafulli Government is getting on with the job of fixing Labor's Housing Crisis, welcoming tenants into 24 new homes at Biggera Waters.
The 18 one-bedroom and six two-bedroom social homes were delivered with $11.9 million of Queensland Government funding.
This recent completion follows the Crisafulli Government's milestone of almost 5,000 social and affordable homes in construction or under contract across the State.
These homes support the target of 53,500 social and community homes by 2044, as part of the Securing Our Housing Foundations Plan.
The Crisafulli Government's housing acceleration follows a decade of Labor failure, when the former Government failed to plan for the State's growing population and added just 509 social homes on average per year over the last decade.
The social and affordable housing pipeline includes almost 600 homes currently being built or under contract on the Gold Coast.
The development has been designed with accessibility and comfort in mind for future residents, including older Queenslanders and people with mobility needs.
Three units are built to platinum level and nine to gold level under the Social Housing Design guidelines. Tenanting is underway, with only four units yet to be allocated.
Minister for Housing Sam O'Connor said the Government was delivering a place to call home for more Queenslanders.
"I'm proud to open these new social homes in a fantastic location on Hollywell Road, right near the shops and the Gold Coast Highway," Minister O'Connor said.
"This is exactly the kind of site where higher-density housing should be.
"After a decade of underinvestment by the former Labor Government, we're ramping up social and affordable housing construction to deliver where it's needed, especially here in our fast-growing Gold Coast region.
"This mix of one and two-bedroom units will offer safe and secure homes for Queenslanders who need them most.
"We're cutting red tape for builders, opening more land in the right locations and unleashing the community housing sector to unlock more homes across the State."
McNab Group Executive Chairman Michael McNab said the company was proud to deliver the vital Gold Coast project in partnership with the Queensland Government.
"There has never been a more important time to get housing off the ground, and we're proud to get these modern, accessible units finished six months ahead of schedule," Mr McNab said.
"It's a great example of how our integrated model delivers real certainty — especially on essential projects like this, where timing and quality matter most."
