Wine Industry Act 1994
LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
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.
Transport and Other Legislation (Road Safety, Technology and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill introduces a Digital Licence App for Queensland, enables cameras to detect seatbelt and mobile phone offences, fixes minor issues with drink driving interlock laws, preserves legal interests when land becomes rail or busway corridor, and gives the Department of Transport and Main Roads power to access adjacent private land for environmental management.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's smoking laws by requiring all businesses selling tobacco, vapes and other smoking products to hold a licence, expanding smoke-free public spaces, cracking down on illicit tobacco, and updating advertising rules for the digital age. It aims to continue driving down smoking rates while protecting Queenslanders — especially children — from the harms of smoking and second-hand smoke.
