Brisbane · 19 Oct 2026Banyo resident leaves before 450-home development; Queensland's one million target questioned

The Queensland government remains committed to building one million homes within 20 years, even as a long-term Banyo resident abandons her suburb before a 450-home development there, and fresh figures show completions are lagging the required pace. Premier David Crisafulli has welcomed the 35 per cent rise in the rate of homes under construction in the state, but warned a cooling may be on the way due to federal tax changes. Industry and community groups question whether the target can be met without more workers and a broader vision for social housing.
