Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are a housing delivery powerhouse, with EDQ’s PDA program being expanded in response to Queensland’s housing shortfall.

The Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ) keeps a register of PDA planning documents, as required under section 172 of the Economic Development Act 2012. This includes documents that are no longer in effect.
