Federal Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek said that 1,532 houses, apartments, townhouses and duplexes would be good news for Queenslanders battling in a tough private rental market.
The not-for-profit Queensland Affordable Housing Consortium had been awarded the scheme's incentive - currently $9,140 annually for each property for 10 yrs - to built the new homes across the state, from the Gold Coast to Townsville.
The Moreton Bay region will receive the largest number of residences with 389, followed with Townsville with 300 and Ipswich with 239.
A further 156 are destined for Logan, while 122 will be built in Mackay.
