Brisbane is grappling with a growing housing shortage and there are about 31,000 households on the social housing register. Some say plans for the 2032 Olympics could help alleviate the pressure in years to come.

What's planned for Brisbane Olympic village legacy?

The proposed Development Scheme for the Olympic Village precinct nominates at least 5 per cent of the Priority Development Area will be devoted to public, social, and affordable housing.The Olympic bid also outlined plans for smaller athletes' villages at Robina on the Gold Coast and Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, accommodating 2,600 and 1,400 athletes and officials, respectively.

A proposed Olympic village at Robina on Queensland's Gold Coast for the 2032 Games will accommodate over 2,600 athletes and officials."To design innovative housing modules which are both better suited to the demands of the athletes' village and a more viable solution for low-cost housing after the Games than traditional high-rise apartments," he said.

"This modular design could be applied to three-storey detached or terraced houses with individual gardens or as more densely stacked dwellings up to five or six storeys."The 2021 Census revealed there were 5.2 million Queensland residents — up from 4.7 million in 2016.
