32-unit social housing complex for seniors and young people opens in Brisbane’s south

The $12.28 million project was constructed in partnership with Brisbane Housing Company (BHC), with the QLD Government contributing $6.38 million. The 32 one-bedroom units in Mount Gravatt East is part of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s Government’s $3.9 billion investment in social and affordable housing for around 13,000 homes.

“This is what our social housing program is about - helping Queenslanders, including seniors and younger people, get a secure roof over their head when they need it most,” said Minister for Housing, Meaghan Scanlon.

Brisbane Housing Company CEO Rebecca Oelkers (pictured) said the social housing complex provides a crucial home and peace of mind for people in dire need of housing assistance, including seniors and people living with a disability. The State Government earlier this week identified nearly 30 parcels of land to unlock more housing for Queenslanders, and the recent inspection of a new mixed-use precinct with affordable housing at Brisbane’s southern riverside suburb of Yeronga.
