- The Crisafulli Government has capped land rent increases for eligible primary production tenures for 2026-27.
- More than $75 million in rent relief expected for farmers, graziers and rural producers.
- The Crisafulli Government is delivering a better lifestyle through a stronger economy by backing the industries that create jobs, drive exports and keep regional Queensland strong.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering for regional Queensland with land rent increases for primary producers capped at 10 per cent for eligible tenures in 2026-2027.
The cap ensures rising land valuations, driven by strong seasonal conditions and continued demand across the agricultural sector do not result in sharp increases in annual rent.
The cap will automatically apply to eligible primary production leases, licences and permits across Queensland, providing significant savings for thousands of producers next financial year.
The measure is expected to deliver more than $75 million in rent relief in 2026–27 with some individual lease holders saving up to $5,000.
It's just one of the ways the Crisafulli Government is delivering a plan for Queensland's future and a better lifestyle through a stronger economy, after a decade of decline under Labor.
Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Regional and Rural Development Dale Last said the Crisafulli Government was delivering targeted cost of living relief to the people who help drive Queensland's economy.
"Queensland farmers and graziers are not just the backbone of our regional communities, they are a foundation stone of the wider economy," Minister Last said.
"After the former Labor Government spent a decade neglecting regional Queensland industries like agriculture and grazing, we are delivering real relief.
"At a time when producers continue to face higher input costs, market volatility and global economic shifts, this measure delivers certainty and will take some pressure off the cost of doing business.
"When regional Queensland succeeds, the entire State succeeds. That's why we are ensuring producers can get on with the job of producing food and fibre, supporting local jobs and strengthening our economy."
AgForce President Shane McCarthy welcomed the announcement saying it would provide much-needed certainty for producers across the State.
"This is welcome news for many primary producers across Queensland," Mr McCarthy said.
"Having certainty around land rent costs helps producers make informed business decisions, invest with confidence and focus on running productive sustainable operations.
