Homes for Queenslanders.
Every Queenslander deserves a safe, affordable place to call home.
One of the first things Steven Miles did when he became Premier was outline his Homes for Queenslanders plan.
It’s the single largest investment in Queensland housing ever, and is delivering on the things that matter by:
-
setting a target to deliver one million new homes by 2046, including 53,500 new social homes
-
investing in the tradies we need to build more homes, with free TAFE and apprenticeships and free tools for apprentices
-
making renting fairer by banning all forms of rent bidding and limiting how often rent can be increased
-
rolling out $160 million of immediate cost of living support to help people find, get and keep a rental
-
slashing stamp duty for first homebuyers by lifting the duty-free threshold to $700,000
-
doubling the first homeowners grant to $30,000, the most generous in the country
-
boosting funding for specialist homelessness services by 20%
-
offering emergency accommodation to anyone who is ready to accept it through expanding the Immediate Housing Response Fund; and
-
rolling out energy efficiency upgrades to more than 32,000 social homes to help them save on their power bills
Homes for Queenslanders is a game changer, but we’re only at the beginning.
If elected in October, a Miles Labor government will make sure it is delivered.
This is all at risk under the LNP.
Queensland’s housing future is all at risk under David Crisafulli and the LNP.
When they were in government, then Housing Minister Tim Mander sacked 1,600 QBuild workers and wanted to transfer social homes into the hands of the private sector.
He also threatened to privatise 90% of Queensland’s social housing stock, cut support for renters and cut the social housing construction budget by 90%.
Now, David Crisafulli wants him to be our Housing Minister again.
Ensuring that Queenslanders have a place to call home is too important to be risked under David Crisafulli.
