Health and Wellbeing Queensland Bill 2019
This bill establishes Health and Wellbeing Queensland as a new statutory body dedicated to preventing chronic disease and improving the health of Queenslanders. With an initial budget of $32.955 million, it takes a multi-sector approach to tackling obesity, poor nutrition and physical inactivity, with a particular focus on reducing health inequity for disadvantaged communities, remote areas, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill bundles changes across five unrelated policy areas: restructuring the Brisbane 2032 Olympics governance authority, repealing Queensland's Path to Treaty Act to end the First Nations Treaty Institute and Truth-telling Inquiry, winding back workplace health and safety entry powers for union officials, clarifying planning powers for State Facilitated Development declarations, and strengthening the independence of the Public Sector Commissioner.
Major Sports Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes several changes to Queensland's major sports facilities and major events laws. It allows Gold Coast stadiums to host concerts until 10:30pm (matching Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane), significantly increases penalties for ticket scalping, modernises Stadiums Queensland's board governance, and updates advertising restrictions to cover drones.
Progressive Coal Royalties Protection (Keep Them in the Bank) Bill 2024
This bill locks in Queensland's progressive coal royalty rates by preventing any future government from lowering them through regulation alone. It was introduced after the then Leader of the Opposition signalled at a Queensland Resources Council event that coal royalties could be changed, prompting the government to require that any reduction must be debated and passed as legislation through Parliament.
Protecting Queenslanders from Violent and Child Sex Offenders Amendment Bill 2018
This bill sought to make supervision orders for dangerous sex offenders indefinite rather than fixed-term, and to create automatic lifelong electronic monitoring for repeat sex offenders. It was a private member's bill introduced by Mr Janetzki MP that lapsed at the end of the 56th Parliament and did not become law.
Major Sports Facilities Amendment Bill 2022
This bill modernises how Stadiums Queensland, the body that manages the state's major sports venues, is governed and operates. It implements six recommendations from the Stadium Taskforce, which was set up in 2018 after venue hirers raised concerns about costs, operations and infrastructure at stadiums across Queensland.
Appropriation Bill 2023
This bill authorises the Queensland Government to spend $78.4 billion in the 2023-24 financial year across all government departments. It is the annual budget appropriation required by law, and also provides interim funding for early 2024-25 and covers unforeseen spending that occurred during 2022-23.
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill 2024
This bill provides the annual budget for Queensland Parliament's operations in 2024-25. It appropriates $131.9 million for the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service, provides $66 million in interim supply for the first half of 2025-26, and covers $18.2 million in unforeseen expenditure from the previous year.
