  • Hi, Are there further rounds of the Quickstart QLD proposed? if so is there an indicative timeline for the commencement of these? thanks

    At present there are no future rounds approved for release. The department is considering future opportunities, and should approval be given to go back out to market, we will ensure that updates are provided through is website and the department's general website.

  • HI, Just wondering if there will be more rounds of this grant in the future or is this the last one?

    Jessi asked 9 months ago

    Hello 

    Thank you for your question. 

    Currently, QuickStarts Qld Round Two is the only procurement round approved to market for registered community housing providers and their partner organisations.

    This does not mean that future rounds won’t be considered, but they are certainly not guaranteed. Please do not delay in submitting your proposals through this round (which closes next Tuesday, 12 March 2024), so you don’t miss out on this opportunity. 

    Regards

  • Hi, Just wondering if Cloncurry is covered under Far North Queensland for this grant. Thank you

    Jessi asked 9 months ago

    Hello 

    Thank you for your question. 

    Cloncurry falls in the Outback Region under this grant program. 

    I hope this information is of assistance.

  • Is Logan considered part of Brisbane?

    Michelle Marano asked 9 months ago

    Hello 

    Thank you for your question. 

    No, the Logan area does not form part of the Brisbane Region for the purposes of QuickStarts Qld - Round Two. The Brisbane Region is essentially the Brisbane Local Government Area.

    I trust this information is of assistance.

  • Hi Is there any way that Quickstarts can be used for Affordable housing projects. We have a development application approved with Council for 22 units, however to build 22 units of Social housing in one block is going to cause issues in the community. Is there a way of applying for Quickstarts for affordable housing projects or a combination of affordable housing and social housing? Thanks

    Anita Laksa asked 9 months ago

    Hello 

    Thank you for your question.

    Capital grant funding under QuickStarts Qld is only available for social housing and not affordable housing. A proponent can seek to contribute their own funding (including third party financing) and use that contribution to fund affordable housing as part of a mixed development. State funding is for social housing outcomes only. 

    I trust this information is of assistance.

  • Are submissions going to be assessed in the first instance on the target region by town, evidenced from the housing register data?

    TCH asked 9 months ago

    Hello 

    Thank you for your question.

    The department will prioritise the assessment of the most conforming proposals and not just those from the within the target regions. The Request for Detailed Proposal outlines all the mandatory criteria and what will be assessed. Housing register data will form part of the department's assessment criteria but is not the only data set we consider. 

    I trust this information is of assistance.
