Stadiums Queensland
OrganisationReferenced in 4 bills
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), significantly increases penalties for ticket scalping, and modernises Stadiums Queensland's board governance arrangements.
Queensland Academy of Sport Bill 2025
This bill establishes the Queensland Academy of Sport as an independent statutory body, separate from the Department of Sport. The change is designed to give the Academy greater flexibility and agility in supporting elite Queensland athletes, particularly in preparation for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
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 Stadium Taskforce recommendations to make the organisation more agile, expands its commercial functions, and streamlines ministerial oversight including giving the Minister power to direct the organisation for major events like the Olympics.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024
This bill establishes the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority to ensure Queensland can deliver venues, villages, and infrastructure for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on time and on budget. The authority will operate independently with its own board but ultimately the State guarantees to cover any financial shortfall.
