Council of Mayors (South East Queensland) has welcomed today’s commitment by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to host a summit to tackle the region’s housing crisis.
Council of Mayors (SEQ) CEO Scott Smith said South east Mayors strongly supported the Queensland Government hosting a housing summit in partnership with all levels of government and key stakeholders.
“This is a complex issue and we’ve all got an important role to play,” he said.
“South east Queensland is the fastest growing region in Australia. In less than 20 years the South East region will have an additional 1.6 million residents and it’ll be home to around 75 per cent of all Queenslanders.
“There needs to be a discussion that is free of politics and focussed on securing genuine outcomes for our communities.
“The summit needs to look at immediate and long-term solutions as our region continues to grow.” For more information visit Queensland Government to hold Housing Summit – Ministerial Media Statements.
