While some of these changes have already started, others were supposed to commence in June of this year. Despite a long period of consultation, the Crisafulli government is now delaying some of these important protections, including: - **Requiring** park owners to prepare maintenance and capital replacement plans and provide them to home-owners. - **Standardising** site agreements by requiring new agreements to be in an approved form, giving home buyers clearer and fairer terms. - **Requiring** park owners to streamline and simplify the sales process for manufactured homes to make transactions faster and easier. These important reforms have now been delayed by one full year, despite 2,650 home-owners having their say through the consultation process. The changes were designed to address problems like site rent increases, unclear contractual terms, lack of maintenance transparency, and residents being financially trapped into paying site rent even after leaving their homes. It’s a real shame the Crisafulli government is keeping thousands of seniors under financial stress for longer, and preventing residential parks becoming fairer, more transparent and more sustainable. Delaying action on housing is unacceptable. Labor will move in Parliament to try and force the Government to get on with the job of delivering these important reforms. I won’t stop fighting for fairness for manufactured home park residents.  You can help by [signing my petition](https://markryan.com.au/homeparks).
