The Catholic Church has also put up 90 land blocks that could be used for housing, but a huge problem was raised at today’s meeting by the housing industry which said the industry had a full book of work for 12 months before it could consider taking on new construction.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Government would also investigate the rental of granny flats and the Government would actively explore an idea that big developments in the future contain between 10 and 25 per cent of social and affordable housing, a criteria that exists in other states and the UK and one which she said was a great idea.

“I’m not saying it’s going to be 25 per cent but it’s something the Government will actively explore,” she said

“At the moment you can’t really rent out a granny flat on your property. This is an issue for seniors in our community and for young people looking for their first home … being able to have separate accommodation but on the same block of land … it gives people a choice.

“These pre-fabricated homes are new to market and we will see how we can increase their manufacture.

“These are all ideas. The summit is in October and these will all go to the summit.”

The housing issue would also be put on the agenda of national cabinet because the crisis was affecting every state. Vacancy rates for rental accommodation are below 1 per cent in Brisbane and many other parts of the state and housing prices soared by 30 per cent in some areas in the past year.

But another 195,000 people were scheduled to enter Australia over the next year under the skilled migration program.

“Everyone is going to feel the effects of increased migration which is sitting on top of a housing market that is very stressed,” the Premier said.

She said there were also proposal around prefabricated housing and she called for anyone with an innovative ideas to come forward.

Treasurer Cameron Dick said there were also proposal put forward to tax vacant land while Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner proposed a tax on AirB&B, but he said there was no proposal to not scrap its planned land tax amendments which would affect about 10,000 properties.

“We are seeing big constraints on supply side. Construction costs are up 30 per cent,” he said.

He said there was a shortage of materials and a shortage of trades workers.

He said not all of the ideas put forward would be progressed.

The Local Government Association of Queensland proposed repurposing of unused government buildings; incentives for short-term holiday accommodation owners to switch to the rental market, prioritising social housing development in indigenous communities and reducing land banking.

The Premier said some of the ideas coming out of the roundtable were brilliant and she said she would be putting the issue on the table at National Cabinet.

She said it was important that people were listened to on the issue because many wanted to remain in their community.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles also defended his decision to take housing plans away from Redlands Council.

The Government this week announced it would will step in to develop a housing supply and diversity strategy for Redland City following the council’s inability to update its outdated City Plan over many years.

Miles said Redland City Council’s current City Plan, did not provide sufficient housing supply or diversity to address population growth.

“The current housing strategy for the city is dated 2011 and is based on 2006 population data, meaning it does not take into account significant population and housing challenges in the past decade,” Miles said.

“For example, the current strategy identified a dwelling target of 66,200 by 2031, however, as of 2021, there is already a total of 65,200 dwellings in the Redlands area.

“Redlands has been asked repeatedly to update its housing strategy but has declined to do so.

“The people of Redlands – now and into the future – need affordable homes urgently.”
