The Property Council of Australia welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the state government’s Ensuring the annual rent increase frequency limit is effective discussion paper.

 

As evidenced by the recently released Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan, Queensland’s population is growing rapidly, with an extra 2.2 million people expected to call the ‘Sunshine State’ home by 2046. On top of the existing housing crisis impacting the state, this population growth will undoubtedly stretch Queensland’s housing supply, requiring decisive action from all levels of government and industry.

 

The property sector plays an important role in developing the stock required to solve the housing crisis including much needed properties for the growing number of Queenslanders who rely on the rental market for safe and affordable accommodation. With housing affordability declining nationally, access to rental stock is more important than ever. While the Property Council of Australia commends measures taken to protect consumers, it is imperative regulatory frameworks established to safeguard consumer rights foster an environment conducive to attracting investment, sustaining growth, and ensuring certainty for Queensland’s growing population.
