Two new Queensland government-led residential developments are leading the nation with 100% solar and battery neighbourhoods, saving homebuyers thousands of dollars in electricity.

Minister for energy renewables and hydrogen and Springwood MP Mick de Brenni said that these futuristic homes in Carseldine and Oxley were ensuring that Queensland reaches its renewable energy target of 50% by 2030.

“We know that Queenslanders want smart, efficient homes that run on clean energy because ultimately it will save them money,” said Mr de Brenni.

“As we move to a carbon-neutral future this sort of housing design is something that we are working towards becoming the norm across Queensland with updates for the national construction code in the pipeline.

“The Palaszczuk government has also helped homeowners across the state enjoy lower costs when they receive their energy accounts, with a $250 electricity rebate delivered to households last year.”
