Disaster Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024

This bill restructures Queensland's fire and emergency services into two dedicated organisations -- Queensland Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service Queensland -- under a new Queensland Fire Department. It also strengthens disaster management governance by clarifying the Police Commissioner's role, expanding the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's functions, and introducing smoke alarm requirements for caravans and motorhomes.
