Given a home is one of the largest investments Queenslanders will make, it is important that the Scheme is structured to provide the best possible outcomes for consumers and industry.
In 2016, the Queensland Government made amendments to expand the Scheme’s coverage, increase cover limits and include the Scheme’s terms and conditions in regulation.
The next phase of the review will be led by a subcommittee of the Ministerial Construction Council (MCC), which is the Government’s peak building and construction industry advisory body. This review is being delivered in four stages.
| Stage | Outcome | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Public survey to gauge current community and industry views | Completed August 2021 |
| 2 | Release of information paper based on survey results | Early 2022 |
| 3 | Information sessions across Queensland to define local community concerns | From early 2022 |
| 4 | MCC and Government consideration of the consultation results and policy response | Early to mid-2022 |
The Department of Energy and Public Works will be conducting online and in person information sessions, subject to COVID-19 restrictions, early 2022.
