Queensland Veterans' Council Bill 2021

This bill establishes the Queensland Veterans' Council as a new statutory body to take over management of Anzac Square in Brisbane, administer the Anzac Day Trust Fund that supports ex-service personnel and their families, and formally advise government on veterans' matters. It consolidates three existing governance arrangements — Brisbane City Council's trusteeship of Anzac Square, the Anzac Day Trust Board, and the Queensland Veterans' Advisory Council — into a single body.
