REIQ State Election Policies - 2024 and Beyond

The REIQ is proud to present our State Election policy paper ‘Levelling the Playing Field’ developed in consultation with members, key stakeholders and economists.

Our policies aim to stabilise the housing sector and promote a balanced marketplace by addressing the state’s tax ecosystem, regulatory environment, and productivity standards.

Our proposed policies also aim to create a balance between renters and investors, first home buyers and downsizers.

They are designed to enable home ownership and ease rental pressures while maintaining Queensland’s reputation as a place for property investment.

We will be championing our policy solutions under six pillars:

1. Addressing the Home Ownership Crisis
2. First Homeowner Grant Reform
3. Closing the Deposit Gap
4. Balancing the Rental Market
5. Housing Supply Reform
6. Resolving the Construction Emergency

The REIQ’s vision is for Queensland to win the home ownership gold medal by 2032, by achieving a home ownership rate of greater than 70 per cent.

The REIQ has laid out a pathway towards improving housing security for all Queenslanders, and in alignment with these policies, we will continue to advocate for all levels of government to play their part in addressing our state’s housing and rental crisis and construction emergency.
