Public consultation is now open for comment on the Home Warranty Scheme with the release of a discussion paper this week. Currently the Home Warranty Scheme covers a range of consumer protections across Queensland’s residential construction sector and it is proposing looking at a rating system for builders.
The review is investigating six key areas:
- Insurance coverage
- Premiums
- Compensation limits
- Processes and time limits
- Consumers
- Modern and responsive scheme
In addition to an opportunity for written submissions, there will be in-person feedback sessions, as well webinars across the state.
The Property Council will be preparing a submission on behalf of its members, and we invite you to contact the Queensland Advocacy team with feedback. Submissions close on 6 May 2022.
