COVID-19 Residential Tenancies Response – Post Implementation Review

The Institute for Social Science Research at the University of Queensland, working with ARTD Consultants formed a Housing Strategy Research and Evaluation Partnership with the Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy (DCHDE), for the Queensland Housing Strategy 2017–2027. ISSR–ARTD was asked to conduct post implementation reviews of the Queensland Government’s responses to the impact of the COVID-19 as part of its broader evaluation of Queensland Housing Strategy’s First Action Plan 2017-2020. The purpose of the review was to explore the appropriateness, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the COVID-19 Residential Tenancies Response and provide insight into which of the changes might be appropriate to continue beyond the Response’s current timeframes.
