Homes for Queenslanders
Program / SchemeReferenced in 2 bills
Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to strengthen protections for renters, stabilise rents and ease cost-of-living pressures. It also introduces mandatory continuing professional development for property agents, removes compulsory superannuation contributions for local government employees, and fixes technical issues with community titles scheme terminations.
Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's laws governing manufactured homes in residential parks to better protect home owners from excessive rent increases and difficulty selling their homes. It caps annual site rent increases at the higher of CPI or 3.5 per cent, bans market rent reviews, creates a buyback scheme for unsold homes, and introduces new transparency requirements for park operators. The reforms respond to concerns from approximately 38,000 home owners across 203 residential parks in Queensland.
