Three things to know about pet approvals: Further updates to strata pet regulations in Queensland The ink is barely dry on the new legislation governing strata in Queensland and regulations governing pets have already been further refined, in favour of pets. Where previously a body corporate committee had 6 weeks to respond to an application for a pet to be kept in a lot, the prescribed period for a committee to consider a pet request has been shortened to 21 days. If the committee does not make a decision within the prescribed period, the pet is deemed to be approved.  Alternatively, if a general meetingRead More →

Astonishing new data from the ABS has laid bare the Queensland Government’s bumper bounty from property tax revenue over FY23, all while the State endures a housing crisis. The data, which excludes coal royalties, shows stamp duty now accounts for 25 percent of the tax base for the State Government compared to 20 percent ten years ago. Additionally, property taxes (stamp duty and land tax) have risen by 133 percent (more than doubled) over the past ten years, equating to an additional $4.2 billion per year. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said given the steep upshoot in property values in the Sunshine State, it was timeRead More →

The REIQ is concerned short-term incentives in the Federal Budget will keep interest rates up for longer, passing the burden to mortgage holders and small businesses. REIQ COO Dean Milton said while energy rebates may apply a short-term downward pressure on inflation, the median-to-long term impact could be inflationary. “Instead of the energy bill rebate cash splash to all Australians, our view is that the Federal Government could have shown more restraint and means tested eligibility to ensure it goes to those that need it most,” Mr Milton said. “We would have liked to have seen a budget which took the pressure off inflation toRead More →

I was amused and horrified in equal measure recently. No, I hadn’t stumbled across a friend watching Married at First Sight, albeit my rare glimpses of this “entertainment” when I do witness such an event have left me somewhat appalled. The so-called MAFS phenomenon amazes me. I can only tolerate it in very small doses and only while heavily affected by gardening. My god! The premise seems immediately simple and confronting. Gather together a group of emotionally damaged and dysfunctional people, add a few mental health issues, stir in some misappropriation of real feelings and launch. What I found most disturbing was not the show.Read More →

Could you help us as we support others? We have partnered with The Priority Project to support woman who have experienced domestic and family violence (DFV).

Relatively stable yet dangerously low vacancy rates over the first quarter of 2024 are a cold comfort to renters desperately trying to find a place to call home in Queensland. The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) Residential Vacancy Report for the March 2024 Quarter shows rental availability remains at critical lows across the sunshine state. Of the 50 local government areas and sub regions covered in the report, vacancy rates fell in 22, were stable in 10 and climbed in 18, compared to the previous quarter. These movements, however disappointing or promising they may seem on face value, were confined to a modest 0.2%Read More →
