Property and Construction Strategy

The LNP's plan for a dynamic industry that creates jobs, builds homes and infrastructure for Queenslanders

The LNP supports the continued growth of a strong, sustainable and socially responsible property and construction sector in Queensland, as one of the four pillars that will support the future growth of the Queensland economy.

The LNP is committed to driving down Queensland's unemployment rate to four per cent in six years.

Unlocking activity in Queensland's property and construction sector is critical to Queensland's economic recovery and to delivering the generational benefits of the resources boom – including affordable homes for Queensland families.

Without a long term strategy the property and construction industry will fail to live up its full potential – and Queensland will suffer.

The LNP is committed to getting the property and construction industry back on track – providing jobs, homes and infrastructure for Queenslanders.

We need to undertake long term planning to accommodate Queensland's future population growth, and do so in an environmentally sustainable way.

We need to address the ever-widening gap between the demand for homes and the number of homes being delivered if we want to ensure the availability of affordable homes for Queensland families.

This LNP Property and Construction Strategy recognises the importance of the property and construction sector to the State's economy and the fundamental role it plays in creating our built environment, providing jobs, investment and growth opportunities across Queensland.

With your help, a CanDo LNP Government will get Queensland back on track to ensure all Queenslanders share in a bright and prosperous future.
