Land Tax and Other Legislation (Empty Homes Levy) Amendment Bill 2022
This bill proposed an Empty Homes Levy to tackle Queensland's housing crisis by taxing vacant residential properties and undeveloped land at 5% of their capital improved value annually. Modelled on Vancouver's successful empty homes tax, it aimed to push an estimated 20,600 vacant homes back onto the rental market. This bill was discharged and did not become law.
Land Valuation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill would have modernised Queensland's land valuation system - the framework that determines property values for calculating rates and land tax.

The bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.

Local Government (Empowering Councils) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill reforms Queensland's local government laws to reduce red tape and empower councils. It simplifies conflict of interest rules, removes lower-level conduct complaints from the formal system, gives councils more control over senior staff appointments, and streamlines electoral processes.
Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018

It streamlines how Priority Development Areas are managed, expands the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's role to include disaster prevention and resilience (not just recovery), and makes administrative improvements to infrastructure planning and the planning courts.
