## Resource

Quilpie’s housing crisis is crippling growth, forcing childcare centers to shrink capacity and deterring families from moving in. With skilled trades scarce and freight costs sky-high, traditional construction is nearly impossible—homes vanish fast, and young people can’t find affordable places to live. Now, local builders are betting on flat-pack homes: pre-fab kits that assemble like Lego, slashing costs and labor needs. It’s a gamble after past efforts like free land offers flopped, but with the town’s future on the line, this innovative approach could finally unlock housing for everyone who wants to call Quilpie home.
