Branch History

The Central Queensland Branch was formed in 2004 to enable community housing providers and public, private and community housing tenants to have a united voice to influence, educate, and inform our communities about the provision and growth of affordable housing.

The key reasons for forming the branch were to:

• Embark on a housing education and information process for members and external stakeholders to ensure as much information and knowledge about the need for housing and the ways to increase housing is dispersed around our communities.
• Increase community members' involvement in advocating and lobbying for policy developments around affordable housing options
• influence key stakeholders to make decisions that will lead to increases in affordable housing for the region

The branch formed four years ago.

Branch projects have included participation in a range of housing forums across the region in conjunction with state, council and community providers.
