The Queensland Parliament has recently introduced new legislation that will make significant changes to the existing law in relation to retail shop leases in Queensland, if passed.

The Retail Shop Leases Amendment Bill 2015 (Qld) (Bill) is the culmination of a lengthy statutory review process for the Retail Shop Leases Act 1994 (Qld) (RSLA), with that review undergoing various phases since 2011 under the two previous State Governments.

 

Landlords, tenants and letting agents for retail premises should be aware of and consider the impact of the proposed changes, to ensure readiness to implement them, once the legislation is enacted.
