Issue of Unused Building Land
A report highlighted that 63,000 hectares of zoned building land in Austria lie unused,an area equivalent to the combined size of Vienna, Graz, and Salzburg.

To combat land speculation, the state of Burgenland has introduced a special tax on unused plots, while some municipalities in Tyrol have implemented construction freezes
