Community Housing Ltd

Excited to be turning the sod on this vital Queensland project!

Redbank Plains: 121 homes launched Yesterday, the Honourable Sam O'Connor MP, Minister for Housing and Public Works and Minister for Youth, and Community Housing Ltd (CHL) launched 121 social and affordable homes for Queenslanders aged 55+. This project is funded by the Queensland Government’s Housing Investment Fund and supported by ANZ through debt financing. The homes will be constructed by McNab. Thank you to the Department of Housing and Public Works for their support, Hall & Wilcox for commercial and legal advice and Planum Partners for financial advisory. This marks the first phase of a scalable housing pipeline driving industry innovation. Smart design, robust partnerships, long-term value—housing that delivers. https://lnkd.in/dUzu-tiw #SocialHousing #AffordableHousing #HousingPipeline #QLDHousingSolutions #RegionalHousingInitiatives

Today we stood beside ACHL as they turned the sod on the Purrkanaitya Elders Village at Warriparringa, Bedford Park in Adelaide. The project will provide culturally appropriate and vital housing to Elders. With land provided by Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation (KYAC) and funding from Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC), SA Housing Trust, Federal Government and CHL, the build has now officially begun. 

Fantastic to see Housing Minister Clare O'Neil with our CEO at the GLM2 site in South Yarra this weekend. It’s vital to keep the spotlight on housing issues and continue our efforts to provide practical, scalable solutions for all Australians.

Great to have Minister Clare O'Neil and Federal MP Cassandra Fernando visit one of the first HAFF projects, due to be delivered in June; another example of CHL delivering real homes for people who need them.

Housing is at the core of the cost of living crisis, and urgent action is needed. New research reveals that 73% of voters say housing affordability will influence their vote, while 76% support increased investment in social housing. This week, CHL has been in Canberra, urging leaders to make housing a national priority. We cannot afford to slow down – the momentum must continue. Housing solutions are not the responsibility of any one group; they require a collective effort from federal, state, and local governments, alongside the community housing and private sectors. It’s crucial that we work together, stay aligned, and remain committed to delivering long term, sustainable solutions.
