Following discussions with REIQ, new standard REIQ House & Land and Residential Lots in a Body Corporate Contracts will not be released on 1 November 2011.

The Queensland Law Society is working with REIQ towards releasing a new standard REIQ House & Land Contract and a new standard REIQ Residential Lots in a Body Corporate Contract in early December.

The Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act 2011 will still commence on 1 November 2011. The Act requires a seller to provide a buyer, before the contract is signed, a copy of an application or order subject to the Act (relating to a neighbourhood type dispute, problem trees for example). This requirement will be included in the new editions of the contracts. For more information, please see Chapter 3, Part 7 of the Neighbourhood Disputers Resolution Act 2011 (“the Act”) and the Act generally.

General public information is available at neighbourhooddisputes.qld.gov.au.
