A $103 million social housing project has kicked off in Ipswich earlier this week, promising  safe, secure and affordable housing for Ipswich residents over the next five years.

Assistant Minister for State and Ipswich MP Jennifer Howard said the ground-floor apartments would offer enhanced accessibility and adaptability targeted towards people with mobility issues.

This project via the State Government’s Queensland Housing strategy, will help create 383 new social housing homes and create 59 full-time industry jobs each year, creating development opportunities for local trades and builders.
