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.
Queensland Academy of Sport Bill 2025
This bill establishes the Queensland Academy of Sport as an independent statutory body, giving it greater operational flexibility and its own governance board. Currently part of a government department, the Academy needs more agility to prepare Queensland's elite athletes for the 2032 Brisbane 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 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.
Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Amendment Bill 2024
This bill establishes the Games Venue and Legacy Delivery Authority, a new statutory body to build and deliver venues, monitor athlete villages, and coordinate government responsibilities for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The authority operates at arms-length from government with an independent board, but the State guarantees any financial shortfall when it is wound up after the Games.
