Brisbane Developers will be offered the incentive of reduced infrastructure fees to build homes that meet safer ‘universal building standards’ for older residents and people with disabilities.
The concept was first announced in the Brisbane City Council budget in June, with $2 million set aside to offset the reduced developers’ infrastructure charges.
Under the scheme, a developer can apply for a reduction of up to five thousand dollars if they build homes that meet the Liveable Housing Design Guidelines for people with disabilities.
