Queensland Housing and Homelessness Action Plan 2021-2025
Program / SchemeReferenced in 3 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 small percentage of their sale price to fund social housing, while the retirement village changes give residents better access to financial information about how their fees are spent.
Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms the law governing manufactured homes in residential parks to protect home owners—mostly seniors—from unaffordable rent increases and difficulty selling their homes. It caps rent increases at CPI or 3.5%, bans market rent reviews, and requires park owners to buy back homes that cannot be sold within 18 months.
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill delivers major reforms to Queensland's rental laws and retirement village regulations. It ends 'without grounds' evictions, introduces minimum housing standards for rental properties, strengthens protections for people experiencing domestic violence, creates a framework for tenants to keep pets, and exempts resident-operated retirement villages from mandatory buyback requirements.
