Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation (Rent Freeze) Amendment Bill 2022

This private member's bill proposed a two-year freeze on all residential rents in Queensland at August 2022 levels, with ongoing caps of 2% every two years thereafter. It responded to record rent increases — over 20% annually in Brisbane — and near-zero vacancy rates across the state. This bill was discharged and did not become law.

Land Tax and Other Legislation (Empty Homes Levy) Amendment Bill 2022

This bill would have created an empty homes levy in Queensland, charging property owners 5% of the market value of residential properties left vacant for more than six months each year. It was a private member's bill introduced by Greens MP Dr Amy MacMahon during the housing crisis, modelled on Vancouver's Empty Homes Levy. The bill was discharged and did not become law.
