A plan to build 14,000 high-density homes to ease Brisbane's housing crisis meets with stiff opposition from Greens MP Amy MacMahon, who opposes Priority Development Areas in general.
A plan to build 14,000 high density homes in Woolloongabba to ease the housing crisis has received opposition from the Greens.A plan to build more high-density apartments and affordable housing to combat Brisbane's cost-of-living crisis has received stiff opposition from the Greens.The Queensland government's stated aims are to speed up the approvals process to build more higher-density homes to fill the shortage of houses.
The plan specifies that taller towers must satisfy requirements around housing diversity, affordability, and sustainability to be green-lit. Furthermore, the Greens housing spokesperson said she opposed PDAs in general as an "extremely undemocratic" tool which reduced community consultation and enriched developers.
The pro-development activist said Woolloongabba was the prime location for dense homes since it was close to hospitals, transport, knowledge-based businesses, and the CBD. "Even in areas where you've gotten this big influx of supply it hasn't actually brought down the cost of housing," Dr MacMahon said.State Development and Infrastructure Minister Grace Grace said the plan would build more houses, limit urban sprawl, and reduce car dependency.
