The Queensland commercial property market continued to show resilience and strategic momentum in the week ending 10 July 2025.

General News

Queensland’s Property Law Shake-Up

From 1 August 2025, Queensland will enact sweeping reforms under the Property Law Act 2023. A mandatory seller disclosure regime will require sellers to provide detailed property documents before contract signing, shifting risk and responsibility to vendors. Legal experts advise sellers to engage solicitors to avoid potential contract termination due to inaccurate or missing disclosures.
