On 8 September 2011 the Building Boost Grant Bill 2011 was referred to the Finance and Administration Committee.

The Bill implements the 2011-12 state budget announcement of a Queensland Building Boost Grant. The grant is for $10,000 for the purchase or construction of a new home in Queensland valued at less than $600,000. The grant is available for eligible transactions undertaken between 1 August 2011 and 31 January 2012.

The Bill also proposes amendments to the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971. The amendment proposes to insert a clear head of power into the act to allow for the Coordinator-General to recover costs incurred in assessing a proposed infrastructure facility of significance mentioned in section 125(1)(f) of the Act. Other amendments are proposed to improve the efficiency of current processes and actions, and to clarify intent.
