Local Government (Empowering Councils) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill reforms Queensland's local government laws to reduce red tape and empower councils. It simplifies conflict of interest rules, removes lower-level conduct complaints from the formal system, gives councils more control over senior staff appointments, and streamlines electoral processes.

Local Government (Councillor Complaints) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill overhauls the system for handling complaints about councillor conduct in Queensland. It creates an Independent Assessor to investigate complaints, replacing the previous system where council CEOs had conflicts of interest in assessing complaints against their own councillors. A new Councillor Conduct Tribunal will hear serious misconduct matters, with appeal rights to QCAT.
