Queensland Competition Authority
OrganisationReferenced in 4 bills
Debt Reduction and Savings Bill 2021
This bill implements the Queensland Government's Savings and Debt Plan through a series of structural reforms. It transfers the Titles Registry to a government-owned company within the Queensland Future Fund to improve the State's balance sheet, abolishes three statutory bodies (Building Queensland, the Queensland Productivity Commission, and the Public Safety Business Agency), and introduces measures to modernise government operations including a fee unit model and mandatory digital publication.
Local Government (Empowering Councils) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill reforms Queensland's local government laws to reduce red tape for councils, strengthen the role of mayors, overhaul the conflicts of interest and councillor conduct frameworks, and clarify rules around councillor pay, leave and eligibility. It also formalises rating exemptions for Indigenous councils and makes it easier for disaster-affected councils to act during election caretaker periods.
Queensland Competition Authority Amendment Bill 2018
This bill updates Queensland's rules for when businesses can access major infrastructure like rail networks, coal terminals, and ports. It aligns the state's access regime with national competition standards following reviews by the Productivity Commission and the federal Competition Policy Review, and makes the Queensland Competition Authority more accountable when processing applications.
Electricity and Other Legislation (Batteries and Premium Feed-in Tariff) Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes three changes to Queensland's electricity laws: it sets clear rules so Solar Bonus Scheme customers can add batteries without losing their 44c/kWh feed-in tariff, it lets apartment and caravan park residents choose their own electricity retailer, and it allows regional households and small businesses to return to Ergon Retail after switching to a private retailer.
