As we transition to a post-carbon economy, infrastructure is key. But investment and rezoning generate large windfall gains for property owners.
Without value capture, these gains widen wealth inequality, as land owners benefit more than renters.

Shifting taxes from transactions to land values is a fairer, steadier way to raise revenue, one Prosper Australia has advocated for decades.
Our Transition Plan shows how this reform can be implemented gradually and fairly while maintaining revenue from land.

Interesting point. If land value rises from agglomeration effects, how do you think an ‘equal share’ for citizens could practically be collected or distributed? Our perspective is the state is best placed to collect. The method of distribution can be equal ie UBI, or more targeted to those who need.

Land value rises due to public investment and location, not individual effort. Reducing or removing the CGT discount, alongside broader value capture policies, would ensure these gains benefit the whole community.
