On Thursday 30 November 2023, I asked the Premier when this government would introduce a vacancy levy to get properties left vacant by investors back into the rental market.
You can read my question and the answer below, or find the full transcript and video link in the official Queensland Parliament Record of Proceedings (Hansard).
Amy:
My question is to the Premier. This week, after pressure from the Greens, the Victorian Labor government increased their levy on properties left vacant long-term to bring homes back into the rental market. When will this government follow the lead of Victoria and introduce a vacancy levy to get thousands of properties left empty by investors back into the rental market?
Premier:
I thank the member very much for the question. There are no plans to do that.
