Major Sports Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill updates Queensland's major sports facilities and major events laws.

The bill was passed with amendment.
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.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill overhauls Queensland's gambling regulation in response to major interstate inquiries that uncovered money laundering, criminal infiltration and other integrity failures at casinos operated by Crown and Star. It strengthens casino oversight, modernises gambling laws to allow cashless payments, creates a framework for wagering on computer-simulated events, and makes it easier for national charities to fundraise in Queensland.
Criminal Code (Consent and Mistake of Fact) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill bundles several unrelated reforms: it clarifies Queensland's sexual consent laws in the Criminal Code based on Law Reform Commission recommendations, reforms the legal profession's Fidelity Guarantee Fund, strengthens alcohol-fuelled violence measures for licensed venues and nightlife areas, bans wagering inducements to protect online gamblers, and makes other miscellaneous amendments.
Liquor (Artisan Liquor) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill amends the Liquor Act 1992 to create a new artisan producer licence tailored for Queensland's independent craft brewers and artisan distillers. It allows these small producers to sell their products on-premises, online, by wholesale, and at promotional events like farmers markets. The bill was introduced to support the industry's recovery from COVID-19, which saw nationwide craft brewery sales drop by 67 per cent.
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's casino regulation following the Gotterson Review, which found money laundering, anti-money laundering failures, and links to organised crime at Star Entertainment Group's Queensland casinos. It introduces mandatory identity-linked player cards, cash transaction limits, binding gambling pre-commitment systems, a new supervision levy, five-yearly suitability reviews, and strengthened powers to exclude persons banned from interstate casinos.
Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021
This bill makes permanent several temporary measures introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic across the justice portfolio. It modernises how legal documents are executed by allowing electronic signatures and video call witnessing, improves access to domestic and family violence protection orders, allows licensed restaurants to permanently sell takeaway wine with meals, and extends commercial lease protections.
