The Queensland Government is reviewing the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 to ensure it continues to support the needs of lessors and lessees.
This regular review provides an important opportunity for all stakeholders in retail shop leasing to share their ideas and insights and help improve how the legislation works for everyone.
We invite you to have your say by either:
- completing a short survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete
- emailing a formal submission to RetailShopLeasesActReview@desbt.qld.gov.au.
The survey closes on 11 September 2026, so we encourage you to have your say before then.
Your feedback will play a vital role in shaping recommendations to ensure the legislation remains effective and responsive to the needs of those involved in retail leasing.
