Precinct potential in action: Parkside Yeronga

Housing supply September 16, 2025

Parkside Yeronga is transforming a former government-owned site into a diverse residential precinct delivering 337 new homes, including social and affordable housing, retirement living, and premium town homes.

The project has attracted an estimated $360 million in private investment – a strong example of how EDQ unlocks public land to support housing and economic outcomes. The first homes were completed by JGL Properties in June 2025.

Construction commenced in July 2024 across three major projects: a $26 million, 37-townhome development by JGL Properties; a $120 million, 169-apartment retirement living project by Retire Australia; and a $32 million, 75-apartment social and affordable housing project by Brisbane Housing Company (BHC).

EDQ’s planning powers facilitated the accelerated delivery and enabled the diverse selection of housing on site. The site also hosts the “Living Classroom”, a partnership with Yeronga State High School giving students hands-on experience in property and construction, helping build skills and local workforce pathways.

We’re working with BHC to deliver new affordable homes – funded by the Department of Housing and Public Works, the project is designed to meet real demand. This partnership is unlocking housing on a well-located infill site, close to transport, education and services. It’s a tangible example of how targeted investment and early collaboration can accelerate delivery.

Partnering with EDQ has been really fundamental in the Parkside development. The fact that EDQ has really prioritised the mix in the development has been hugely important.

Rebecca Oelkers

Chief Executive Officer, Brisbane Housing Company

We’re working with industry to remove roadblocks and get homes built sooner. In collaboration with the private sector, we’re unlocking opportunities to derisk developments. At Parkside Yeronga, EDQ is teaming up with JGL properties to transform a former TAFE site into new housing. This project, it’s about combining EDQ’s land and infrastructure delivery with private capital to drive economic growth and deliver much-needed homes for Queenslanders.

Working with EDQ creates a relatively seamless process where EDQ delivers the land and the key infrastructure and private sector then overlay their expertise and capital to create economic development and deliver much needed housing.

John Livingstone

Managing Director, JGL Properties

We’re proud to work with EDQ, supporting the construction of the Arcadia Retirement Living community. This project is creating high-quality homes for ageing Australians, offering retirement living with a continuum of care. With an ageing population and growing urban footprint, housing diversity and service integration are critical. EDQ’s supporting aging in place! Delivering and partnering with EDQ on this project has provided a stable platform. We’re with a government body that has a track record of delivering.

Development Manager, Retire Australia
