In a recent interview on 4CA's Talkback with host John Mackenzie, James Mort from MiHaven provided his insights on the upcoming construction of Queensland's largest social and affordable housing project in Cairns.
The project, a joint effort between the federal and state governments and private sector investment, will deliver 490 modular homes in the suburb of Woree. It will be the biggest social housing development ever built in Queensland. FCC Construction Australia and Modscape will lead construction.
James discussed the significance of this project in addressing the housing crisis in the region. The 490 homes will include 245 social housing apartments, 223 affordable housing units and 22 specialist disability accommodation. Construction is set to begin next week.
