Mr Pattel said the 'Property and Construction Strategy' launch followed the release of tourism, resources and agriculture strategies as part of the LNP's plan to grow a four pillar economy to get Queensland back on track and jobless down to four per cent in six years.

Mr Pattel said the strategy offered solutions to return optimism to an industry that had been underperforming under the long-term Labor Government. "The property and construction sector has been hammered by inefficient planning systems, Labor's underinvestment in infrastructure over the past 20 years, skill shortages, and an explosion in government regulation and red tape."

"Costs and charges levied on new housing have gone through the roof under the Labor Government, making house prices unaffordable in the North West Queensland resource and mining region."

"Property and construction businesses across Queensland are looking for relief from complexity, uncertainty and rising costs - the LNP strategy outlines our objective to ensure we have a vibrant and prosperous property and construction industry that not only creates jobs but delivers affordable homes for Queensland families."

Key features of the CanDo LNP Property and Construction Strategy include:

§ Leadership from Government through the establishment of a Cabinet Committee focused on property and construction chaired by the Queensland Treasurer;

§ Appoint a dedicated "go to" person for property and construction issues;

§ Redressing planning system inconsistencies and inefficiencies by fixing the Sustainable Planning Act and minimising the introduction of any new State Planning Policies and Regulatory Provisions;

§ Making affordable housing a goal of all planning schemes;

§ Re-introducing the stamp duty concession saving Queensland families $7000 on average when buying a family home;

§ Repealing the Industry Waste Levy (waste tax) saving Queensland businesses an estimated $372 million over the next four years; and

§ Winding back the Urban Land Development Authority and re-empowering Local Governments to make local planning decisions.

"Unlocking activity in our property and construction sector is critical to Queensland's economic recovery, and to delivering the generational benefits of the resources boom – including jobs and homes for Queensland families," Mr Pattel said.

"Without a long term strategy the property and construction industry will fail to live up to its full potential – and Queensland will continue to suffer. It's time for a change. It's time to get Queensland back on track."
