Innovative seniors housing development being considered in Cairns

Community Housing (Qld) Limited (CHQL) has formally submitted a development proposal for what is set to become Queensland's most expansive community housing project, featuring 490 new social and affordable homes at the site of the disused Cairns Twin Drive-in, which closed in the year 2000.

The proposed development will be aimed towards seniors seeking to downsize and move into supported independent living in a shift to free up under-occupied social homes for larger households.

The Queensland Government is considering an application from CHQL and its Victoria-based financier/ partner Tetris Capital through the Government's $2 billion Housing Investment Fund.

CHQL is the Queensland subsidiary of Community Housing Ltd.

Completed in May 2023, this project has been delivered in partnership with the Queensland Government. It has easy access to essential services, including healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and public transport as well as nearby parks, recreational facilities, and shopping districts.
