Nature Conservation and Other Legislation (Indigenous Joint Management - Moreton Island) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill enables joint management of Moreton Island's national parks and conservation areas between the Queensland Government and the Quandamooka People, following the Federal Court's recognition of their native title in 2019. It transfers protected area land to the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation as Aboriginal land while maintaining its conservation status through a jointly managed arrangement.
Nature Conservation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill extends commercial beekeeping access in specified national parks for 20 years until 2044, creates new offences for impersonating park rangers, and updates governance arrangements for the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. It delivers an election commitment to beekeepers while strengthening enforcement against people who deceive park visitors by pretending to be rangers.
Environmental Protection (Efficiency and Streamlining) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill streamlines environmental and resources regulation in Queensland by creating standardised codes for lower-risk activities, reducing duplicate approval processes, and extending prosecution timeframes for environmental offences. It also creates a single permit system for tourism operators working across multiple parks and forests, and improves underground water monitoring and reporting for mining-affected areas.
Police Service Administration and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill modernises how security is provided at Queensland government buildings by merging two categories of security officers into one and giving them clearer legal powers. It repeals the outdated 1983 State Buildings Protective Security Act and moves relevant provisions into existing police legislation, better integrating Protective Services into Queensland Police Service.
Land and Other Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2023
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to how Queensland manages state land, names places, and ensures resource companies pay their local council rates. It streamlines land administration by removing duplicate assessments, makes it easier to change offensive place names and recognise First Nations names, and gives local governments stronger tools to collect rates from petroleum, geothermal, and greenhouse gas companies.
