Subsidised Housing Projects Planned for Queensland Mining Town

The Queensland government is looking to build subsidized housing projects in Blackwest. Blackwest is located west of Rockhampton in central Queensland.

The Urban Land Development Agency or ULDA hopes to begin building the 12 developments that would provide roughly 200 houses to the town of Blackwest over the coming months. Representatives of the ULDA have already visited the town in connection with this project.

Paul Eagles spokesperson for ULDA said that representatives will also be visiting Moranbah located south west of Mackay to assess housing projects there as well. He added that the planning body was interested in building a range of housing in both the cities.

He said that the ULDA was working closely with the council to see that there was some housing available for people who may not be working for the mines and have such income. Key workers not on mine incomes find it difficult to rent homes in these towns. The ULDA hopes to build some houses that can be given on subsidized rents for these key workers.
