Trading (Allowable Hours) Act 1990
LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Liquor (Artisan Liquor) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill creates a new artisan producer licence for Queensland craft brewers and artisan distillers, giving them a streamlined pathway to sell their products in taprooms, online, at wholesale, and at promotional events like farmers markets. It was introduced to support the growth of Queensland's independent liquor producers and help the industry recover from COVID-19 impacts.
Trading (Allowable Hours) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill simplifies Queensland's retail trading hours framework and strengthens protections for retail workers who don't want to work extended hours. It also makes permanent the COVID-era arrangements allowing school P&C meetings and teacher registration investigations to be conducted by video call.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Public Health Emergency) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill gives Queensland authorities emergency powers to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. It allows the Chief Health Officer to issue binding directions restricting movement and gatherings, order isolation and quarantine, and close facilities. It also provides flexibility for elections and planning approvals during the emergency.
Education (Overseas Students) Bill 2018
This bill makes four unrelated sets of changes: it modernises the regulation of schools providing education to overseas students, creates a new statutory framework for student exchange programs, implements major reforms to senior secondary assessment including external exams and ATARs from 2019, and fixes an error that banned Easter Saturday trading in regional towns.
