Brisbane's New Housing Plan: Taller Buildings, Fewer Parking Spaces
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Brisbane aims to build 6,000 new homes before the Olympic Games by allowing taller buildings, smaller land blocks, and fewer parking spaces. The city council seeks to control rising property prices and reduce urban sprawl. The Lord Mayor, Adrian Schrinner, supports these changes, emphasizing the need for a supply-side construction blitz to make housing more affordable. Critics argue against rent freezes and higher taxes on home builders. The Labor council opposition welcomes the changes but suggests more public transport options are needed to tackle city congestion.
