Housing initiatives

$2 billion in transport, water and power infrastructure

A new $2 billion Residential Activation Fund will be used to accelerate critical infrastructure like transport, water and power to get land ready to build more homes sooner, including $1 billion for regional Queensland.

No stamp duty for first home buyers on new builds

In Queensland, eligible first home buyers purchasing or building a new home can receive a full stamp (transfer) duty concession, from 1 May 2025.

Extending the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant

To help eligible first home owners, we’re extending the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant to 30 June 2026.

Lifting rental restrictions for new home owners

To unlock rental supply, new home owners who received transfer duty concessions and grants will now be able to rent out rooms without penalty, when they move in and use the property as their home.

Delivering more social homes

We’re delivering more than 53,500 social and community homes across the state for those who need them by 2044.

Help for low-deposit first home buyers

Through the new Boost to Buy scheme, eligible first home owners with a deposit of just 2% can access a government equity contribution of 30%, to purchase a home of up to $1 million.

More housing support

We’re unlocking land and supercharging solar to create savings for renters and much more to help Queenslanders secure a place to call home.
