Rooming Accommodation is Key to Solving Southeast Queensland’s Housing Shortfall

WHY ROOMING HOUSES MATTER!

Across South-East Queensland (SEQ), housing supply continues to fall short of demand—particularly when it comes to smaller, more affordable living options. Recent developments, such as the approved Northshore Hamilton precinct, highlight just how under-represented rooming accommodation remains within our market.

One planning report noted that this type of housing is “severely under-represented within the current housing market” and that new projects are helping to “notably increase” diversity and supply. For Hamilton, this translates into more than 100 new co-living and rooming accommodation units, but the lesson extends far beyond one suburb.

The reality is that SEQ urgently needs more rooming accommodation to provide

• Housing diversity:
Studio-style apartments and co-living units create more flexible options.

• Affordability:
Rooming accommodation fills a critical gap for renters who are priced out of traditional housing.

• Low risk of saturation:
Unlike standard residential developments, demand for well-designed rooming houses continues to exceed supply across SEQ.
