Queensland Housing Strategy 2017-2027
Program / SchemeReferenced in 3 bills
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill enables the Homes for Homes charitable donation model in Queensland, allowing property owners to voluntarily pledge a small donation from the sale of their property to fund social and affordable housing. It also reforms financial reporting in retirement villages to give residents clearer, more consistent information about how their village funds are managed.
Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill reforms Queensland's rental laws to give tenants stronger protections and ensure all rental homes meet minimum standards. It abolishes 'without grounds' evictions, introduces a framework for renting with pets, strengthens domestic and family violence protections, and prescribes minimum housing standards for safety, security, and functionality. It also exempts resident-operated freehold retirement villages from mandatory unit buyback requirements.
Housing Legislation (Building Better Futures) Amendment Bill 2017
This bill updates five Queensland housing laws to give more protection to people living in manufactured home parks, retirement villages, boarding houses and rental properties. It was part of the 2017-2027 Queensland Housing Strategy and introduces new disclosure rules, dispute processes, behavioural standards, and a head of power for minimum rental housing standards.
