South East Queensland’s population is expected to grow by 2.2 million people by 2046. The state government, in consultation with communities, industry and other key stakeholders, has created a plan to respond to this growth.
Queensland’s state government has made official its objectives of a more usable, liveable and accessible South East Queensland . In its first planning update since 2017, ShapingSEQ has tasked the region with providing almost 900,000 new homes and about 1m new jobs by 2046.
The plan’s priorities reflect the challenges of having an expanding population with diverse needs. For example, SEQ has a growing number of single-person households, a decline in families with dependent children, but more extended families living together and an increase in couple-only families. Different proposed housing types, models and higher densities are planned in well-located and well-serviced areas. The government also intends to “unlock new models and diverse forms of homes” for sustainable growth, including build-to-rent, co-housing and micro-housing.The plan identifies that the creation of new housing alone is a false benefit if it doesn’t also make it possible to get to work, school and other essential locations.
