37 students found living in one house at Sunnybank Hills

A COUNCIL raid on a south Brisbane student house has found 37 people living
there.

The house, at Sunnybank Hills, mainly housed international students and had
backyard portaloos and makeshift garage bedrooms to accommodate tenants.
The raid follows a Brisbane City Council (BCC) sitting last week, where
changes to the House Code were adopted to cut the number of unrelated people
permitted in one dwelling from six to five.

The Sunnybank Hills raid was part of a council housing blitz, which has seen
more than 1,000 house inspections to tackle overcrowding since July last
year.

Deputy Mayor Graham Quirk said portaloos in the backyard of the property
raised serious sanitation issues, and changing a garage into a bedroom was an
illegal development of a property.

Mr Quirk said the council would not tolerate illegal accommodation that led
to substandard conditions for Brisbane residents.

``In many cases these are overseas students being charged top dollar to live
in substandard accommodation with not enough toilets, or bedrooms,'' he said.

``Students bring over a billion dollars to our annual economy and they spend
a lot of money to get here, yet some find themselves victims of poor housing
and sanitation.'' He said council relied on the community to identify illegal
properties.

``Council can't be everywhere all the time so the tip-offs by the community
are invaluable,'' he said.

``Residents are our eyes and ears on the ground.''
