Queensland’s state government has made official its objectives of a more usable, liveable and accessible South East Queensland (SEQ). In its first planning update since 2017, ShapingSEQ (the South East Queensland Regional Plan) has tasked the region with providing almost 900,000 new homes and about 1m new jobs by 2046.
The ShapingSEQ 2023 website says: “Every SEQ resident should have access to a safe, secure and affordable home that meets their needs and enables participation in the social and economic life of this prosperous state.” Those living and working in the region – or hoping to in the future – have a rapidly increasing need for more housing and different types of housing, improved infrastructure and employment opportunities.
