## Resource

Brisbane’s inner suburbs are seeing a boom in demolition and rebuilds, as homeowners tear down older homes to replace them with vastly larger, pricier single-family homes—often costing $1.5M to $2.5M. While builders tout cost savings over renovations, official data reveals these projects rarely add to housing supply, just upgrading existing dwellings. Amid a looming need for 200,000+ new homes by 2046, the trend reflects desire to stay put, but critics warn it’s fueled by restrictive planning laws that block denser housing like duplexes. Urban planners question why massive single homes are allowed while more sustainable, adaptable mid-century homes are discarded—raising urgent questions about housing policy, sustainability, and whether we’re treating houses like disposable goods.
