The Brisbane Housing Company project in Toowoomba City will replace a car park on Station Street
The 75-apartment complex is part of a larger delivery plan by the Brisbane Housing Company
It expects to complete 290 affordable homes this year
During the past decade the social housing waitlist skyrocketed to more than 45,000 families while housing lot approvals plummeted by 29 per cent in Queensland
The independent not-for-profit Brisbane Housing Company purchased the land 130km west of Brisbane from the Toowoomba Regional Council in 2022
Chief executive Rebecca Oelkers said they were working on their largest development pipeline in more than 20 years
“Our footprint across south-east Queensland already includes 2000 secure
long-term tenancies and that number will triple by 2030,” Oelkers said
“We are directing every effort to deliver our record development pipeline
Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.”
Toowoomba councillor Trevor Manteufel said council research had found the carpark was barely used
“We don’t expect the downsizing of the car park to have a significant effect on the community,” Manteufel said
we do know residents have been asking for more housing options for quite some time
“This is a step in the right direction for the future of our region.”
Real Estate Institute of Queensland chief executive Antonia Mercorella said the project held a myriad of social and economic benefits
“This is exactly the kind of innovative model and targeted support that delivers the type of housing that’s so sorely needed in our market to the people who need it most,” Mercorella said
“[The Brisbane Housing Company] is setting a great example for how we can make a real
programmatic investment in social and affordable housing.”
Early works on the Station Street car park are due to begin on March 1
A development application has been lodged for two Residential Buildings
the proposal includes 75 residential units across two interconnected residential buildings with a maximum height of 7 storeys (24.8 meters)
The development is located within the Principal Centre Zone

Sydney-based lawyer Zali Burrows will defend Lehrmann
who is accused of raping a woman twice in October 2021
</a>Former Liberal party staffer Bruce Lehrmann has changed solicitors months before he is expected to stand trial accused of two counts of rape
Sydney-based lawyer Zali Burrows said on Monday that she was now acting for Lehrmann in the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/queensland" data-link-name="in body link" data-component="auto-linked-tag">Queensland</a> district court at Toowoomba
Lehrmann is accused of raping a woman twice during the morning of 10 October 2021 after they met at a strip club the previous night in Toowoomba
Sunshine Coast-based lawyer Rowan King has appeared for Lehrmann throughout his criminal matter in Queensland
which was first mentioned in court in January 2023
<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/email-newsletters?CMP=copyembed" data-link-name="in body link">Sign up for Guardian Australia’s breaking news email</a>
Lehrmann has been committed to stand trial and at a mention in Toowoomba in January this year King told Judge Dennis Lynch that Lehrmann’s barrister would apply for a judge-alone trial
the grounds for holding a trial without a jury include that the hearings would be lengthy or complex
or “there has been significant pre-trial publicity that may affect jury deliberations”
Burrows confirmed that the district court registry had been informed she was now representing Lehrmann
She previously represented Lehrmann in Hobart magistrates court in Tasmania for the mention of his charge of motor vehicle stealing
It is alleged the 29-year-old stole a Toyota Prado from Mountain River
Lehrmann has not yet entered any pleas to the Toowoomba or Tasmania charges
His legal team in Toowoomba has indicated he will defend them
Burrows has also appeared at the federal court in Sydney over Lehrmann’s appeal after losing a defamation case he brought against Network Ten
and his attempts to avoid paying costs and sureties
Lehrmann sued over a February 2021 report on The Project interviewing Brittany Higgins about her allegations she was sexually assaulted in Parliament House in March 2019 while both were employed by Senator Linda Reynolds
Justice Michael Lee found in April that Lehrmann was not defamed in reports he sexually assaulted Higgins because the allegations were substantially true
It came after a criminal case against Lehrmann in the ACT supreme court was abandoned in 2022 due to juror misconduct with no verdict made against him
Lehrmann’s Toowoomba case is due for a pre-trial directions hearing on 27 March
