The Burdekin is among dozens of Queensland communities benefiting from a statewide housing construction boom, with 10 new social and affordable homes currently under construction or under contract in the region as of the 28th of February, 2025.
The milestone comes as the newly elected Crisafulli Government fast-tracks housing delivery under its Securing Our Housing Foundation Plan, with nearly 5,000 homes now either in contract or being built across the state.
Minister for Housing and Public Works Sam O’Connor said the government is focused on easing Labor’s housing crisis and delivering on its long-term commitment to provide more homes for Queenslanders.
“We’re getting on with the job of building more social and affordable homes right across the state to ease Labor’s Housing Crisis,” Minister O’Connor said.
The statewide pipeline includes more than 3,100 homes already under construction and an additional 1,800 homes contracted to start, marking a 6 per cent boost to Queensland’s social and affordable housing supply.
Projects stretch from the Gold Coast to Goondiwindi, and from Cooktown to Cloncurry and Palm Island - showing that housing needs are being addressed in every corner of the state.
For Burdekin residents, the 10 new homes mark a positive step in ensuring more locals have access to secure, affordable housing, especially as pressure mounts on rental availability and cost of living.
“This is just the start of our housing delivery - we’re rebuilding our housing system from the ground up and backing our builders to get more homes for Queenslanders faster."
