Housing Affordability Strategy

The Queensland Housing Affordability Strategy will ensure that the state's land and housing is on the market quickly and at the lowest cost.

The actions will provide for a more competitive and responsive land and housing market by significantly reducing the timelines and associated holding costs of bringing new housing to the market.

Through the Queensland Housing Affordability Strategy, the Queensland Government will:

  • establish an Urban Land Development Authority
  • make immediate changes to improve the planning and development assessment process
  • increase the supply of land ready for development
  • regulate infrastructure charging plans across Queensland
  • designate land for housing in regional areas of high demand
  • identify and develop appropriate underutilised government land for urban proposals
  • allow local governments to facilitate private sector financing of infrastructure.
