BlueCHP has officially broken ground on 10 new social homes in Yarrabilba, marking a significant step forward in addressing housing demand across South East Queensland.
The milestone was celebrated at a groundbreaking ceremony on 31 March 2026, attended by the Hon. Sam O’Connor MP, Queensland Minister for Housing and Public Works and Minister for Youth, alongside BlueCHP CEO, Charles Northcote, BlueCHP team members, and project partners.
Delivering homes for Queenslanders in need
The Yarrabilba project will deliver a mix of one- and three-bedroom homes designed to support seniors, families, and people living with disability—providing safe, secure, and accessible housing options for those on the housing register.
Funded through the Queensland Government’s QuickStarts program, the development forms part of a broader initiative to fast-track social housing supply across the state.
BlueCHP has secured multiple sites within the Yarrabilba Priority Development Area (PDA), with these 10 homes representing the first stage of a wider pipeline of delivery in the region.
“In partnership with the Queensland Government and Stockland, BlueCHP is pleased to commence this project, delivering a further 10 homes over the next year. BlueCHP continues to work with the State to deliver on its housing target of 53,500 new community homes”.
-Charles Northcote, BlueCHP CEO
A growing community with long-term impact
Located within Logan City, approximately 20 kilometres south of Logan Central, Yarrabilba is one of South East Queensland’s most significant growth corridors.
When complete, the master-planned community is expected to deliver up to 20,000 homes for a population of around 50,000 people over the next 20–30 years.
This project plays a key role in supporting the State Government’s social housing targets within the development, while contributing to a more inclusive and balanced community.
“We’re partnering with BlueCHP to deliver these one and three-bedroom homes for seniors, families and people living with disability on the housing register. For too long, housing supply across our state hadn’t kept pace with demand. But after an average of just 509 social homes getting built each year over the last decade, we’ve now got work underway on almost 6,200 social and community homes.”
-The Hon. Sam O’Connor MP, Queensland Minister for Housing & Public Works
Strong partnerships driving delivery
The project is being delivered in collaboration with trusted industry partners, including: GJ Gardner Homes (Builder); idearchitecture (Architect); and Stockland (Master Developer).
The ceremony included a site tour and project briefing, followed by the official groundbreaking, marking the commencement of construction.
Building momentum in social housing delivery
The Yarrabilba development contributes to a growing pipeline of social and affordable housing projects being delivered by BlueCHP across Queensland.
With increasing demand for housing, initiatives like this are essential to ensuring more individuals and families have access to stable, long-term accommodation within well-connected, master-planned communities.
