The Queensland Government says it wants 17 parcels of undeveloped land on the market within a year to help improve housing affordability in the state's south-east.

Premier Anna Bligh says the need for new housing land is clear.

"The south-east will gain an average of up to 60,000 new residents every year until 2026," she said.

Since last year, a review has been underway looking for land that could be fast-tracked to market.

Seventeen sites have been identified around Brisbane, Ipswich, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and Redlands.

Housing affordability was also a feature of yesterday's State Budget, with the Government announcing stamp duty cuts.

The Treasurer will promote the Budget at a Labor lunch today.

But the Opposition is continuing its attack with newspaper ads, accusing the Government of plunging Queensland into debt.
