TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House that there is an extraordinary housing crisis in Queensland. This is exacerbated by people and companies buying blocks of land and not using them so that the price of the land increases hugely. An example is a block next to the member’s office in Caloundra, it has been empty and unused for most of this century.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to resume unused blocks of land; give the owners a year to begin building on the land and if they fail to do that resume the land for the price paid by the owner.
