The Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 (the Bill) was introduced to Parliament on 20 March 2024 to amend the Act under which EDQ functions.
It is intended that the legislative process will be complete with the amended Act coming into force on 1 July 2024.
The amendments to the Act seek to strengthen EDQ's remit in relation to housing delivery with a particular focus on social, affordable and diverse housing at scale across the State in response to the current housing challenges impacting Queensland.
Additionally, the purpose, powers, operating model and corporate structure are being refined to ensure EDQ is best positioned to deliver significant improvements across housing, enterprise and place-based outcomes to support long-term performance and financial sustainability.

Moreover, EDQ has set benchmarks for the property industry through innovations like zero net energy communities and created jobs of the future in regional Queensland by opening up tens of thousands of hectares of industrial land supply for clean energy and large-scale manufacturing.
EDQ's increasingly complex and diverse portfolio includes precinct and land development across all sectors, asset management, infrastructure planning and delivery, and property transaction structuring across various uses.
