A windfall gains tax should be implemented to capture a share of the increased land value resulting from government rezoning decisions for public benefit.

Rezoning decisions by government can cause land values to jump overnight, with the gain flowing entirely to private owners. Fusion's windfall gains tax captures a share of that uplift for public benefit, aligning rezoning with community return, not private windfalls. Victoria already operates a similar model. Fusion would make it national, integrated with Land Value Tax and other housing reforms. It's time to stop leaving public wealth unreturned.

When the government rezones land, the value spike comes from public decisions, not anyone's labour. Yet that windfall has been pocketed by private landowners while the community that created it gets nothing. Fusion's solution: a windfall gains tax captures a fair share of that publicly created value and puts it back into collective benefit, funding housing, infrastructure and services. No more rezoning value siphoned away. Join the campaign to reclaim public wealth: fusionparty.org.au https://go.fusionparty.org.au/4Zqon

When governments rezone land, values can skyrocket overnight, but that uplift is created by public decisions, not owner effort. A windfall gains tax captures a fair share of that value for the community. Victoria already has a model; it's time for a national approach. This isn't about punishing development. It's about making sure public decisions deliver public returns, not private windfalls. Fusion's policy aligns rezoning with public benefit, funding the services and infrastructure communities need. If you believe land value gains should benefit everyone, not just lucky owners, join the campaign. #auspol #housing https://go.fusionparty.org.au/WsTWu
