The inventive solution to the housing crisis has seen homes slated for demolition picked up and trucked to new blocks across the South East. The government has chosen 11 houses to be shifted to different parts of the region and plans to find more. 

In Brisbane's South West, a house finds a new home. Peace back together in Sunnybank after it was picked up off its stumps in Kingston and moved 20 minutes up the road. The building was cut into two to obviously 

transported here to actually down the roads. Locals say it had been vacated for a year before it was relocated, leaving behind an empty block which will soon be taken over by the rail expansion. This is one of 11 homes that we've earmarked 

for to be moved so that we can deliver them as social and affordable homes. The Department of Housing deciding it was cheaper to relocate the clapboard family home, then demolish it and build another one here. 

It's good to see them getting recycled rather than being destroyed. It was also much faster as we face the construction skills shortage and a housing crisis. There's a laundry and a concrete slab to go in underneath, a storage room and it'll 

get all enclosed stairs will go on. But homeowners bordering the new rail corridor are concerned. Yeah, I'm still a bit concerned it's going to be really close to my property. They said that they will not compensate any decrease 

in property value. Stability giving way to progress. Jordan Bissell, 7 News.
