Property Council of Australia
OrganisationReferenced in 4 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.
COVID-19 Emergency Response Bill 2020
This bill establishes Queensland's legal framework for responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. It protects renters and small businesses from eviction, allows Parliament and courts to operate remotely, and enables documents like wills to be witnessed via video link.
Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill simplifies Queensland's payment protection rules for building subcontractors and implements governance reforms for the building industry regulator. It clarifies trust account requirements, makes the QBCC Board more transparent, and streamlines licensing processes for builders and trades.
Small Business Commissioner Bill 2021
This bill creates a permanent Queensland Small Business Commissioner to support small businesses with advice, advocacy, and dispute resolution. It transitions the temporary COVID-19 commissioner role established during the pandemic into a permanent statutory position, making Queensland consistent with other mainland states.
