Queensland Housing Strategy 2017-2027
Program / SchemeReferenced in 2 bills
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill supports two housing reforms: enabling the Homes for Homes charitable donation scheme to operate in Queensland, and improving financial transparency in retirement villages. Homes for Homes allows property owners to voluntarily donate a portion of their sale price to fund social and affordable housing. The retirement village changes give residents better access to financial information about how their fees and charges are spent.
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to give tenants stronger protections and greater security. It ends no-grounds evictions, introduces minimum housing standards for all rental properties, strengthens protections for people experiencing domestic and family violence, creates a framework for renting with pets, and shields tenants from retaliatory action by landlords. It also exempts resident-operated freehold retirement villages from mandatory buyback obligations.
