Design and development

  • Renewals program

    Renewal programs target large social housing communities that have been disadvantaged by poor urban and social planning. These communities generally have a high concentration of social housing properties.

  • Design principles

    This document is fundamental to the dialogue between the department and its housing designers.

  • Property Standard Index

    The Property Standard Index is a valuable asset management tool that was developed by the former Department of Housing in conjunction with the CSIRO and Queensland University of Technology. It assists property portfolio managers to make informed strategic decisions about the management of departmental properties.
