Addressing homelessness and housing insecurity through zoning, land allocation, and funding reforms.
Queensland faces a growing crisis in homelessness and housing insecurity. This proposal recommends legislative amendments to enshrine responsibilities for local councils in addressing homelessness.
Phase | Action | Timeframe |
---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Amend Local Government Act | 6 months |
Phase 2 | Identify & allocate land for shelters | 12 months |
Phase 3 | Implement zoning & affordable housing requirements | 18 months |
Phase 4 | Establish free campsites & emergency housing | 24 months |
The Local Government Homelessness and Housing Infrastructure Act 2025 provides an evidence-based approach to reducing homelessness in Queensland.
We urge the Queensland Government to adopt these recommendations and lead in innovative housing solutions.
