Have your say on Queensland housing
The Queensland Department of Housing and
Public Works has released the ‘Working
together for better housing and sustainable
communities’ discussion paper.
What is the discussion paper about?
The discussion paper is intentionally broad ranging
and is organised around three key themes – these
are:
 Building housing and communities that
maximise economic and social wellbeing,
and are sustainable;
 Improving access to housing; and
 Creating a single homelessness and housing
assistance system.
The purpose of the discussion paper is to seek
feedback on a range of housing issues, such as social
housing, home ownership and retirement options.
This feedback will be used to assist the Government
in developing a 10 year housing strategy for
Queensland.
The discussion paper is available on the Queensland
Government’s website (www.qld.gov.au/housing).
How can I have my say?
The closing date for submissions is 20 May 2016.
Responses to questions within the discussions paper
may be emailed to housingstrategy@hpw.qld.goc.au
or posted to the Housing Strategy Team, GPO Box
690, Brisbane QLD 4001.
The Government is also running a number of
community engagement sessions and there will be a
Gold Coast session on 1 June 2016 at the Vibe Hotel.
Further details are available at
www.qld.gov.au/housing.
