Almost 50 homes for women aged over 55 at risk of homelessness are being built at Mango Hill.
City of Moreton Bay Peter Flannery said the project is the latest in moves to boost social and affordable housing in the region.
“This is a much-needed affordable housing project for Moreton Bay, and we look forward to welcoming more developments like this in the near future as we continue to explore all options to help combat the impact of the national housing crisis,” Mayor Flannery said.
He said Council had experienced unprecedented interest in new social and affordable housing projects since launching its Attraction of Affordable Social Housing Development Policy in March 2023.
“A social and affordable housing complex is currently under construction at Redcliffe, while a First Nations-led social housing project is also underway at Deception Bay.”
Mayor Flannery said the Mango Hill project would deliver 47 affordable units for the vulnerable demographic of older women at risk of homelessness.
“We’ve pioneered a number of initiatives to drive more social and affordable housing and continue to work closely with community organisations and other levels of Government.”
