The vacant retirement village will provide at least 30 dwellings for those in need, but there's no clear timeline on when they will be ready for residents.
abc.net.au/news/abandoned-retirement-village-to-become-social-housing-brisbane/101904524An abandoned retirement village in Brisbane's north will be transformed into social housing in a bid to address Queensland's growing housing crisis.
Housing Minister Leeanne Enoch said work had already begun to get the 30 dwellings ready for people to move in."Some of the self-contained rooms were built back in the '80s ... We've got our team on that already." She said teams were working "as quickly as possible" to prepare the site, but it was unclear when people would be able to move in."This is a critical part of our solution to ensuring that we have more social homes in our stock going forward," she said.
