Council of Mayors (SEQ) has welcomed the handing down of the Queensland Housing Summit Report in Parliament last week.

The 50 actions outlined in the Queensland Government report provide the first steps on a journey to tackle SEQ’s housing and affordability crisis.

The report responds to a number of actions called for by Council of Mayors (SEQ) including the need for greater investment in community education to showcase the positive impacts housing diversity and density can have on our region.  

The upcoming review of the South East Queensland Regional Plan also provides an opportunity to better plan for and deliver enabling infrastructure, like transport connectivity, which can significantly boost affordability and housing supply.

This crisis is a complex issue and all levels of government and key stakeholders have a key role to play.

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.

Council of Mayors (SEQ) looks forward to continuing to work with all levels of government and industry to support progress on these actions, and to continue to work on solutions which protect and enhance the long-term lifestyle and prosperity of South East Queenslanders.
