Abstract: This report represents a component of a project commissioned by the Central Highlands Development Corporation (CHDC) to develop affordable housing solutions for the region. As the CHDC project developed, it became clear that a lack of information on demand for housing was a barrier to approving new housing developments in the region. As a result, Deborah Wilson Consulting Services has worked with the Queensland Resources Council to compile this data. This report presents the findings of research conducted by the Queensland Resources Council to estimate current and future mining industry employment and accommodation supplied by mining companies. This research supports the information needs of a range of research projects on housing demand and affordable accommodation.
