Ideas to stimulate the Queensland economy

“

Better use of this land will add to the State’s budget bottom line, create jobs, housing and greater amenity. It’s an incredible opportunity for Queensland

Natalie Hoitz, Director, explains, “While this research intends to stimulate ideas, not offer fixed solutions, it reveals beyond doubt that there are vast opportunities to do more with surplus State-owned land.

“Better use of this land will add to the State’s budget bottom line, create jobs, housing and greater amenity. It’s an incredible opportunity for Queensland.”

Property Council Queensland Executive Director, Chris Mountford added: “A more concerted focus is needed to work with the private sector to unlock opportunities to deliver new social and place-making outcomes, while positively stimulating economic activity.

“Once completed, these proposals would be home to 8,000 jobs and continue to contribute nearly $1 billion annually to the state’s economy.”
