"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," Mr Bennett said.

"Costs and charges levied on new housing have gone through the roof under the tired, 20 year-old Labor Government, making house prices unaffordable for many people throughout the Burnett electorate.

"Meanwhile, property and construction businesses across Queensland, and in particular this region, are looking for relief from complexity, uncertainty and rising costs.

"The LNP's strategy will do just that. It outlines our plan to deliver a vibrant and prosperous property and construction industry that not only creates jobs, but delivers affordable homes for Queensland families."

Key features of the 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 local families," Mr Bennett 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."

The LNP's Property and Construction Strategy launch follows 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.
