Infrastructure fees for community housing companies, such as the joint Brisbane City Council/Queensland government Brisbane Housing Company, will be completely waived.Schrinner confirmed the scheme on Tuesday morning at the site of a Brisbane Housing Company development in Chermside, where 46 social housing units and 46 affordable housing units will be built by mid-2025.
