Tenants are now settling into 16 new social homes in Caloundra as part of the state government Homes for Queenslanders plan.

Construction is underway on social housing projects across the coast including new homes in Nirimba and Banya.

These projects are all part of the Homes for Queenslanders plan to build one million more homes, including 53,500 social homes.

Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the project demonstrated the ongoing commitment to facilitating affordable and diverse housing options for our community.

“Access to affordable housing creates the foundations for our community members to build stable and productive lives,” Cr Natoli said.

“It is also critical to attract the skills we need on the Sunshine Coast to continue to prosper.”

Coast2Bay Housing Group are overseeing the construction of the Nirimba and Banya projects.

Coast2Bay Housing Group is an independent, not-for-profit company committed to providing affordable, safe and appropriate homes to individuals and families throughout the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Moreton Bay, Redcliffe and Gympie regions.
