A new $3.8 million dollar social housing complex supporting vulnerable Queenslanders has officially opened its doors in Townsville. 

Member for Thuringowa, Aaron Harper, said the new 14 unit complex in Kirwan had been built to deliver more social and affordable homes for North Queensland. 

All of the units have been built to either Gold, Platinum or Silver Standard under the Liveable Housing Design Guidelines, meaning they were designed with accessibility in mind. 

Minister for Communities and Housing, Leeanne Enoch, said the Queensland Housing and Homelessness Action Plan for 2021-2025 is underpinned by a $2.9 billion dollar investment across the state, including the commencement of 7,400 new social and affordable homes across the state over the next 4 years.
