South-east Queensland’s housing supply will receive a major boost with the delivery of thousands of new homes after a precinct at North Harbour was fast-tracked.

A fast-tracked marina precinct at Southeast Queensland’s North Harbour is set to deliver 3,700 homes after being declared a Priority Development Area (PDA).

The Queensland government’s approval will pave the way for the next phase of the $2.74 billion North Harbour project, including pivotal housing for the fast-growing area.

 
 

In addition to thousands of houses, the site will also enable the delivery of nearly 2,000 jobs, and the biggest riverfront parkland in south-east Queensland.

According to Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie, the North Harbour PDA brings the state closer to delivering 1 million homes by 2044.

“This precinct has sat idle for more than a decade under the former Labor government amid a housing crisis,” Bleijie said.

“The Crisafulli government has taken action to move it forward, delivering certainty for council, industry and the community, and helping meet the needs of a growing population.”

Director of MAS - Architecture Studio, Nick Symonds, said the PDA declaration is the right action required in the current housing climate.

“It clears delays, builds confidence, and allows us to design a true benchmark community,” Symonds said.

“The North Harbour precinct will meet urgent housing needs, but it also represents the future of bayside living in south-east Queensland.

“We’re not just building homes. We’re designing a place that’s sustainable, well-connected, and built for a modern Queensland lifestyle. With the Olympics approaching, this puts Moreton Bay in a prime position to shine nationally.”

Chairman of North Harbour Holdings, Malcolm Hall-Brown, said the precinct is about more than delivering homes.

“It’s about crafting a new destination for the City of Moreton Bay, a destination that helps to deliver on the aspirations of the community,” Hall-Brown said.
