Building and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises Queensland's building and construction laws across several areas. It strengthens homeowners' rights to install solar panels free from aesthetic restrictions by developers and body corporates, expands the use of treated greywater in large buildings, improves subcontractor payment protections, and gives the Queensland Building and Construction Commission stronger regulatory and enforcement powers.
Land Valuation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill updates Queensland's land valuation system to keep pace with an increasingly complex property market. It gives the valuer-general new powers to issue binding guidelines, streamlines the objection process so all landowners are treated equally regardless of property value, and gives farmers more choice over how their land is valued.
