Delivering social housing for Logan
Logan residents will benefit from a boost in social housing, thanks to the Queensland Government’s decision to purchase the former Tanah Merah retirement village to provide 124 secure and affordable homes for Queenslanders experiencing housing pressures. This is the government’s largest purchase of vacant retirement accommodation for social housing. The facility includes a mix of one and two-bedroom units designed for independent living. They will undergo minor upgrades before welcoming new residents later this year. A community housing provider will be appointed to provide onsite support to residents.
The purchase of Tanah Merah village was funded through the Queensland Government’s Housing Investment Fund. The government is continuing to identify and purchase former retirement villages and aged care facilities and other commercial properties for conversion to social housing as part of the Homes for Queenslanders plan.
