Queensland Housing Summit
Program / SchemeReferenced in 2 bills
Body Corporate and Community Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's body corporate laws in several significant ways. It creates a new process for terminating ageing or uneconomic apartment and unit schemes with 75% owner support, protecting dissenting owners with fair compensation. It restricts developers from using sunset clauses to cancel 'off the plan' contracts, and modernises everyday rules around smoking, pets and parking in strata schemes.
Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) to help address Queensland's housing supply shortage. It gives EDQ expanded powers to deliver social and affordable housing, creates new 'Place Renewal Areas' for coordinated urban renewal, grants compulsory land acquisition powers, and restructures EDQ as an independent statutory body with its own board and CEO.
