It also sets up the legal framework for electronic property conveyancing, creates a stamp duty concession for mining exploration farm-in deals, delays anti-bikie licensing rules by 12 months, and requires licensed plumbers to install water meters.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill implements several 2025-26 State Budget measures and makes other amendments across seven Acts. It extends the doubled First Home Owner Grant and the apprentice payroll tax rebate, introduces contingency windfall taxes to protect foreign surcharge revenue, reforms how Budget Estimates hearings are chaired, and clarifies SPER registration fee rules.
Revenue (Cost of Living Relief Locked-in Law) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill locks four cost-of-living measures from the 2026-27 State Budget into law.

Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill implements several 2024-25 State Budget revenue measures. It makes it cheaper for first home buyers by increasing stamp duty concession thresholds and doubling the First Home Owner Grant to $30,000, while raising surcharges on foreign and absentee property owners and extending payroll tax rebates for apprentice and trainee wages.
