Simplified Sustainability Declaration Now Available
The Department of Infrastructure and Planning released the revised and substantially shortened version of the sustainability declaration on January 4th 2010.
The REIQ has worked with the government on the form’s redevelopment and is pleased it is now available for use.
The new version should be used for all residential properties listed for sale from today. All properties that have the initial version of the sustainability declaration completed are still valid.
The simplified form should eliminate any need for engaging external consultants to complete the declaration thereby reducing any further cost impediments to selling a home.
Members are reminded that while there is a moratorium on on-the-spot fines until 1 March, it remains a legislative requirement that a sustainability declaration is completed for every residential property being marketed for sale in Queensland.
The new sustainability declaration can be viewed and downloaded here.
