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.
Property Law Bill 2023
This bill replaces Queensland's 50-year-old Property Law Act with modernised legislation that makes property transactions clearer and safer. It introduces a mandatory seller disclosure scheme so buyers receive standardised information before signing contracts, supports electronic conveyancing, and protects parties when settlement is disrupted by emergencies or system failures.
Building Units and Group Titles and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill improves protections for owners in older unit and townhouse developments established before 1997, bringing their governance rules closer to modern strata legislation. It also enables enforcement of gift card consumer protections.
