Queensland removes 20% affordable housing mandate in Woolloongabba, enabling 16,000 homes for 2032 Olympics, sparking criticism over housing goals.
Queensland has dropped mandatory 20% affordable housing requirements for the Woolloongabba PDA, citing only three developer applications under the prior rule.
The change allows 16,000 homes—2,000 more than before—and supports the 2032 Olympics arena.
Critics, including QCOSS and housing experts, say the move weakens efforts to meet the state’s 53,500 social housing goal by 2044 and undermines public accountability, especially with over 50,000 on the social housing waitlist.
The government maintains its commitment through a $5.6 billion community housing investment and a $2 billion fund to support one million homes by 2044.
