"Work is underway on the biggest ever investment in social housing infrastructure since the Chifley era – the first phase of which will see the construction of 585 new social housing dwellings across Queensland by the middle of next year. This funding means that 141 new social housing dwellings will be built across Queensland by June 30, 2010. In addition, 444 new social housing dwellings will be delivered across the state by July next year at a cost of $138.6 million under the Stage One of the Nation Building Economic Stimulus Plan."
