Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021 (Qld) introduced
The Queensland Housing Strategy 2017-2027 is a 10-year framework seeking to drive reform and targeted investment across Queensland’s housing continuum. The Housing Strategy seeks to ensure that Queenslanders have access to safe, secure and affordable housing.
The Housing Legislation Amendment Bill 2021 (Qld) was introduced on 19 June 2021 with Retirement Villages Act 1999 amendments:
The objectives of the Bill in relation to retirement villages are to:
- provide certainty, security, and peace of mind to residents in freehold resident-operated retirement villages;
- implement the intent of recommendations made during an independent review of timeframes for payment of exit entitlements in Queensland retirement villages; and
- create a framework to exempt freehold resident-operated retirement villages from the 18-month mandatory buyback requirements under the Retirement Villages Act 1999.
