QLD budget outlines housing crisis

Brisbane is running out of land for new homes according to documents released during the Queensland state budget hearings.

Under current state government rules, all local government areas should have 4 years’ worth of approved lots.

However, Brisbane has less than three years and Noosa has less than 1 year.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles says the reason for the housing crisis is due to, quote, “the interstate migration which has put pressure on land supply across the state [during the pandemic]”.
