Rethinking Residential: Housing Diversity in Far North Queensland

As housing demand continues to grow and land prices rise across Far North Queensland, delivering a broader mix of housing options is becoming increasingly important.

Join us to explore how small lot and medium density housing typologies could support supply, affordability, and liveability.

Amy Degenhart from BUBBL UP will share her experience delivering innovative small lot housing as both an architect and developer, and explore how these solutions could be adapted for the Far North Queensland market, with practical insight into design, costing, and market considerations.

Glen Maidment, Managing Director at Maidment Group, will share his perspective on the viability of small lot and medium density projects in regional markets, drawing on recent experience delivering similar outcomes in Townsville.

Patrick Clifton from RPS will join the panel to provide a planner’s perspective and how this is influencing the delivery of diverse housing outcomes in Far North Queensland.

The session will also explore the practical challenges impacting delivery, including construction costs, built form requirements, and the feasibility of delivering second storey outcomes in the current market.

Be in the room to explore what needs to change to deliver more diverse housing in Far North Queensland.
